D.C. is joining several states in mailing ballots to every registered voter ahead of the November general election. In some cases, this means the form would be sent back to the Board of Elections without crucial identifying information. “This was a design flaw,” Rachel Coll, a spokeswoman for the Board of Elections, said Tuesday night as complaints about the design gained traction online. “We’re encouraging people to be resourceful given there is this issue with the form,” she said. ADThe apparent gaffe comes as jurisdictions across the country grapple with safe voting practices during the coronavirus pandemic.
