Washington ballots being reprinted

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A mistake by state elections officials is prompting some counties to reprint thousands of ballots, driving workers and printers into overtime and testing a deadline for getting ballots to overseas voters.

The error, in an advisory from the secretary of state's office, caused some counties to print ballots with statewide initiatives in the wrong order, officials said Tuesday.

I figured they forgot to pre-mark the Democratic candidates before they sent 'em out. Oh, well, that'll be fixed when they're counted.
