Maryland election officials forewarn of vote-counting delays on election night due to the mail-in ballot error.

The Maryland State Board of Elections is addressing fallout from the error caused by the state's vendor, which sent ballots to some voters that were for the wrong party affiliation.

"The packaging was basically for the right district but the wrong party affiliation," Maryland State Elections Administrator Jared DeMarinis told WBAL-TV 11 News.

While the exact number of incorrect ballots sent is unknown, the state has replaced more than 447,000 ballots. Replacement ballots are still arriving in voters' mailboxes, which could lead to delays in canvassing on election night.

"Tight races might be delayed in who is declared the winner," DeMarinis told WBAL-TV 11 News.

The error has drawn scrutiny from Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who last month called for a Department of Justice investigation. DeMarinis confirmed the state received a DOJ request to preserve documents.

"This is nothing new or something that we would change any of our processes for," DeMarinis told WBAL-TV 11 News.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
