As a result, the random party placement in column two will be redrawn on Friday, July 22, at 1:00 PM. The first column of the ballot has been correctly drawn; only column two will be redrawn on Friday.
“After the drawing took place today, we noticed the drawing for column two resulted in the same party appearing in multiple columns in the same district. The only way to fairly correct this is to redraw. Both political parties have been notified,” said spokesman Anna Fay.
