Their spokeswoman claimed they &#8220;made an unfortunate mistake.&#8221;\u009d In fact, the company had failed to notify the city of this &#8220;mistake&#8221;\u009d and when originally asked they lied and told the city they had delivered all 21,450 ballots they were supposed to print and deliver to the post office on Oct. 16. Sequoia claims they will have ballots printed and delivered to the post office by tomorrow, Monday. Voters have until election day to get those ballots marked and either back in the mail or delivered to any early polling site. Not mentioned by anyone is if any overseas voters or military are affected by this failure. <\/p>\n<p> In Jefferson Co, Arkansas, voters will vote on ballots that don&#8217;t have some alderman races on them. The county discovered their error too late and they have now fixed it but all early voting has been done without those races being voted on by the voters. The county will just forget all of those voters and hope that none of the races are close, which would open them up for potential lawsuits&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>National: How to Stop Election Theft and How Not to Stop Election Theft?<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/How-to-Stop-Election-Theft-by-Mark-Adams-081023-879.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/How-to-Stop-Election-Theft-by-Mark-Adams-081023-879.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: Antidote to Election Theft: &#8220;Steal Back Your Vote&#8221;<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/Antidote-to-Election-Theft-by-Joan-Brunwasser-081026-908.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/Antidote-to-Election-Theft-by-Joan-Brunwasser-081026-908.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: This Election Will Not Be Stolen<br \/> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/This-Election-Will-Not-Be-by-Jennifer-Hathaway-081024-520.html\" target=\"_blank\"><i>http:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/This-Election-Will-Not-Be-by-Jennifer-Hathaway-081024-520.html<\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li>National: Opinion &#8211;
