SF Examiner: 1,400 ballots incorrectly mailed to San Francisco voters right before election

More than 1,400 ballots of the wrong party affiliation were incorrectly mailed to San Francisco voters, the San Francisco Examiner has learned.

The ballot snafu comes just a week before San Francisco voters hit the polls for the June primary election, and during the prime vote-by-mail period — critical for local races like the Democratic County Central Committee, the state Senate primary and a number of local ballot measures.

The Examiner learned of the mistake from readers who sent in letters they obtained from the San Francisco Department of Elections.
