Error puts wrong Democrat on nearly 90,000 Orange County sample ballots
RaShon Young opened his House District 40 sample ballot Saturday, expecting to see his name as the Democratic nominee. He had won the June primary, after all. But the name of his primary opponent, Travaris McCurdy, was on the sample ballot that arrived at his home. The same erroneous ballot was sent to almost 90,000 voters, the Orange County Supervisor of Elections admitted. 'I was a little confused is the best way to put it,' Young said Monday. Karen Castor Dentel, the first-year Supervisor of Elections, sent out a news release Saturday about the error, noting the problem only impacted sample ballots, not Election Day or early voting ballots, which will list Young as the Democratic Party's representative. Young faces Republican Tuan Le in the Sept. 2 election. The special election is necessary because Democrat Lavon Bracy Davis resigned the seat to run in the state Senate special election on the same date, where she faces Republican Willie Montague. 'The Orange County Supervisor of Elections office takes full responsibility for this mistake. We have tracked the error and found it originated in our office during artwork creation for the printing process,' said Blake Summerlin, an office spokesperson. The office is mailing people who received the incorrect ballot a 'notice of printing error' as well as a correct sample ballot, Summerlin said, which is expected to be delivered ahead of early voting beginning Aug. 23. Young defeated McCurdy, a former state representative, with more than 55% of the vote in the special Democratic primary on June 24. But McCurdy's name was on the sample ballot for the upcoming general election. 'I think it was an oversight, but I'm grateful for Karen and her team for stepping in very quickly and getting word out very quickly to people who have been affected,' Young said. 'I believe that we're going to be victorious on Sept. 2, but we're still working.' The error was limited to sample ballots sent to voters who hadn't requested a vote-by-mail ballot. The office is tallying the financial impact of the mistake, and an estimate wasn't immediately available, Summerlin said. Castor Dentel, a Democrat, was elected to the post last year. She took over for Glen Gilzean, who served a year in the post after being appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, following the retirement of longtime elections supervisor Bill Cowles. Castor Dentel has said she's been trying to dig the office out of financial troubles after Gilzean spent more than half of the office's annual budget in the first few months of the fiscal year — which included last year's presidential election. County officials accused Gilzean of misspending, citing $2.1 million given to Valencia College for scholarships, $1.9 million to CareerSource for retraining election workers and $1.1 million to the Central Florida Foundation to operate a grant program. All three organizations later returned money, which Castor Dentel and other county officials said should have been spent on running elections. In March, Castor Dentel announced her office had clawed back millions of that money to shore up the budget. Solve the daily Crossword
