Barely a week before Election Day, Milwaukee voting officials are asking 200 absentee voters to recast their ballots. The Milwaukee Election Commission explained a printing error resulted in the inadvertent reversal of the names of the candidates running to represent District 5 on the Milwaukee Common Council. Candidate Lamont Westmoreland was in the midst of his campaign two weeks ago when he heard the news from the election commission. "The potential of wrong ballots coming, maybe wrong ballots and good ballots coming, double ballots coming, so when you hear of that, it is worrisome," he said.A viewer alerted WISN 12 News of the issue, sharing a letter explaining a printing error meant the candidates were listed in the wrong order on mailed absentee ballots. The viewer was confused, and Westmoreland said he felt better about it once it was explained to him. "The machine reads the oval right. It reads the oval, it does not read the printed name. So if somebody were to vote for me, my opponent would get the vote, and vice versa," he said. But he said there's a fix in place that he's satisfied with. "I think everything will be fine," Westmoreland said. The candidates both shared with WISN 12 News that there were initially 700 of the erroneous ballots prepared to be sent out, but 500 of them were caught at the post office before they were mailed out. "Accountability is what's most important, so I was thankful that they were accountable and they let us know, so I didn't have to find out through some other means," said Annette Jackson, the other candidate for the District 5 seat. She said she understands mistakes happen. She's just glad it's being addressed. The election commission explained to WISN 12 News new ballots were sent out, and if the replacement ballots don't get returned, they'll correct the first ballots to make sure the right candidate gets the vote."Of course, I was totally surprised and shocked, but once I got over the shock, I think I was OK with it," Jackson said.Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall-Vogg told WISN 12 News each ballot will be reviewed by two election workers to confirm that the race appeared in the correct order. Early voting continues through Saturday in Milwaukee. Election Day is April 4.
