Rochester printing company Phoenix Graphics is blaming mechanical-inserting issues for problems with absentee ballot mailings to the New York City area.
The company estimates the problems affected less than one percent of the mailings, of what was the first of many absentee-ballot orders for the affected counties.
Phoenix Graphics is reprinting and mailing all materials and will be covering all production and postage costs.
The company has been accurately printing ballots for 40 years and says it is truly sorry for the inconvenience.
