At least 8,500 voters across three suburban Detroit communities got ballots that listed a local library board candidate in the wrong section.

Clerks blamed the short gap between primary and general election and delays at the printer.

Ballots are already in voters’ hands.

Antrim County Clerk Victoria Bishop allegedly canceled and changed registrations for a number of voters, despite that being a job only for township and city clerks.

Those charged include voters in swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, and Texas.

Michiganders are voting for a new governor, a new U.S. senator, new legislators, and more.

The Michigan Supreme Court said it did not have the power to force canvassers to put the proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot.

If approved, the amendment would give Michigan one of the strictest proof-of-citizenship requirements in the country.

City officials said the ballots were received on time, but they were never logged in the state’s voter database.

The state Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal, meaning the lower court’s ruling to count the ballots stands.
