Officials in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, say that a ballot mapping error resulted in almost 29,000 incorrect ballots being sent out.

The county’s Elections Division said on Oct. 14 that Midwest Direct, the firm that was contracted to “handle the printing, collating, and mailing of ballots,” confirmed the error.
