DENVER (AP) — Nearly 110,000 voters in a southern Colorado county will be receiving general election ballots that were mistakenly labeled as primary election ballots. The blunder led the state’s secretary of state to appoint a supervisor to oversee November’s election in a county that also had issues with ballots in its primary election. Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office said in a news release Monday that ballots won’t be reprinted because the misprint sent to voters in Pueblo County was on a tear-off tab and does not effect the “legal validity” or accuracy of the rest of the ballot.
