A municipal election in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is experiencing a mix-up with thousands of mail-in ballots.

Of the 25,500 mail-in ballots requested so far, 2,700 have contained instructions meant for a different county.

They said that their instructions told them they did not need to pay for postage.

The county attributes the mistake to the vendor Michigan Election Resources, which also sent ballots containing return envelopes with names differing from the intended recipient.

We’re as unhappy as the voters are with what’s going on …
