Maryland forced to reissue ~400,000 mail-in primary ballots after vendor printing error sends wrong party's ballot to voters; Trump demands DOJ investigation

Claimant

Maryland State Board of Elections (confirmed error); Trump (calling for DOJ investigation)

Notes

Maryland sent ~500,000 voters mail-in ballots for the June 23 gubernatorial primary. An unspecified number received the wrong party's ballot due to a printing error by vendor Taylor Corporation. The state is reissuing all potentially affected ballots (approx. 400K). Taylor Corporation paying for reissue. Initial ballots sequestered and voided. Trump's demand for a DOJ investigation is the politically volatile element here — if the DOJ does open any inquiry, this becomes a major story. Track DOJ response.

Coverage Gap

No left-wing national outlet (The Nation, Jacobin, Common Dreams) found to have covered Trump's DOJ investigation demand directly.
