BALTIMORE — Maryland election officials forewarn of vote-counting delays on election night due to the mail-in ballot error.
The Maryland State Board of Elections is addressing fallout from the error caused by the state's vendor, which sent ballots to some voters that were for the wrong party affiliation.
"The packaging was basically for the right district but the wrong party affiliation," Maryland State Elections Administrator Jared DeMarinis told WBAL-TV 11 News.
While the exact number of incorrect ballots sent is unknown, the state has replaced more than 447,000 ballots. Replacement ballots are still arriving in voters' mailboxes, which could lead to delays in canvassing on election night.
"Tight races might be delayed in who is declared the winner," DeMarinis told WBAL-TV 11 News.
The error has drawn scrutiny from Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who last month called for a Department of Justice investigation. DeMarinis confirmed the state received a DOJ request to preserve documents.
"This is nothing new or something that we would change any of our processes for," DeMarinis told WBAL-TV 11 News.
The SBE has also received letters from the House Administration Committee and U.S. representatives. DeMarinis told WBAL-TV 11 News that the board will conduct an internal analysis and is open to the possibility of an independent investigation.

I always referred to it as “The Land of Peasant Living.”
My wife and I are talking about it.
Nothing to see here folks, the wrong candidate won. Just need to correct that. We’ll let everyone know when it’s official.
In the world of today’s computers, this should never happen.
Knuckle dragging, bottom feeding, liberal DemonRAT Neanderthals couldn’t hold a fair and honest election to save the pitiful, little sicko lives.
“Maryland” “vote-counting delays” “mail-in ballot error”.
The story could write itself.
This is the first phase of bastard DemonRATS stealing an election. Californios can’t count. It looks like Steyer gets the third place booby prize. A date with AB Hernandez. ROTFL!
Planned cheating. This has to stop.
CHEATING USELESS DEMOCRAPS!
