Printer error made 3 counties' mail-in ballots unscannableA printer vendor error made some ballots in Moffat, Las Animas and Huerfano counties unscannable, county clerks confirmed to 9NEWS Tuesday.
According to a news release, Moffat County Clerk and Recorder Stacy Morgan was made aware of the issue Wednesday. Huerfano County posted about the issue on their Facebook page Monday, and Las Animas County told 9NEWS they believe they discovered the issue Friday.
The error, which cut off the "timing marks" at the bottom of the ballot, prevents every mail ballot from being scanned for tabulation. Timing marks are black lines on the edge of ballot that inform the tabulator of the ballot style in order to count the ballot, according to the release from Moffat County.
All three counties used the same vendor, Fort Orange Press, to print their ballots.
