Ballots to Overseas Voters Misspell Tim Walz

Palm Beach County, Florida election officials are re-sending 257 electronic ballots to overseas voters after discovering that the name of Democratic vice-presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz was misspelled as 'Tom' Walz. The error, attributed to a ballot vendor, was corrected within 18 hours of being identified. Despite the mistake, officials assured that votes cast with the misspelled name will still be counted correctly. The error came to light when voters reported the typo, prompting immediate corrective action. Election Supervisor Wendy Sartory Link emphasized that the error does not affect the proper tabulation of any ballots. The incident has raised concerns among voters about the integrity of the proofreading process.
