In a statement issued last Friday, the California Secretary of State’s Office acknowledged a mistake that led to Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Christina Pascucci receiving a “No Ballot Designation” identifier on both the March 5 primary ballot and the accompanying voter guide.
Pascucci, a former Los Angeles TV news journalist, should have received the designation “Local Television Journalist,” according to a statement from Secretary Shirley Weber’s office.
The mistake has been corrected online, but it is too late to fix the ballots or official voter information guides.
Weber’s office said it was “an administrative error” that led to the mistake.
For University of Southern California professor and political analyst Dan Schnur, there’s only one thing to do.
“The only fair course of action at this point is to reprint the ballots, and if that’s no longer possible because of the secretary of state’s own error, then there should be a serious discussion of whether the primary should be delayed,” he said. “...I don’t know of any other way to make the candidate whole.”

There is a designated winner. And it’s not her.
Yes, exactly.
“Error”.
That will continue and compound in further “errors” as we approach November.
The election will be nothing but “errors and glitches” all evening.
Given the contempt in which journalists are held, not listing her occupation probably helps rather than harms the candidate.

Shirley Weber, professor emerita of Africana studies. Very smart and qualified.
Asking for forgiveness, not permission, and be sure to do this over and over.
Is this how you manage a ballot “fix” late in the election preparation, and also get a few 100,000 ballots printed, just in case?

This “mistake” could only have occurred with the complicity of senior officials in the California Secretary of State’s Office.
Think about something, folks....
If CA is such a reliably lefty state, why does Deep State have to steal its elections? 🤔
In her defense, she was paid to do that.
