The title says it all.

The Maricopa County Elections Department incorrectly lists the Election date on the document distributed with Voter IDs as November 8th. But, magically, this mistake only appears on the Spanish language information. Not on the English one. While the Elections Department is trying to downplay the importance of this, there could be very real implications for the AZ Senate race.

Maricopa County Elections Department admits error on date of general election on Voter ID Cards

Maricopa County is the largest county in the state of Arizona, home to nearly ~~6.5 million~~ 3.8 million people--30% of whom are Latino. This is an outrage. Perhaps my cynicism is shining through, but I don't think this was an accident.

Not much of a diary, but I wanted to get this information out there. My apologies.

There is a video of the news report if you follow the link. I tried to embed it, but couldn't get it to work.
