## Resource

A Minnesota printing company is owning full responsibility for a massive ballot mix-up in Maryland, where 447,000 mail-in ballots were wrongly printed with mismatched party lines — a costly, embarrassing error they’re fixing at their own expense. The mistake, blamed on a combo of equipment glitch and human error, slipped through despite testing — prompting an immediate halt, correction, and re-sending of all affected ballots. While some praise their transparency and new safeguards, critics demand an independent probe. The company, majority-owned by former Minnesota senator Glen Taylor, insists state election officials are blameless and vows flawless performance in the next election with added automated and human checks.
