https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/publicaffairs/fairfax-county-election-officials-warn-voters-about-inaccurate-center-voter-information-mailingFairfax County election officials want to alert voters about an inaccurate and potentially misleading mailing from the Center for Voter Information.
Be on the lookout for this inaccurate mailing to county voters that sending unsolicited applications to be returned the City Fairfax.
This group is mass mailing pre-filled, absentee ballot applications to county voters without their requestand the mailer includes return envelopes to send the application to the City of Fairfax, not Fairfax County.
This mailing is causing great confusion and concern among voters who have been contacting our office, said Fairfax County General Registrar Gary Scott. While the mailing may appear to be from an official government agency, the Fairfax County Office of Elections did not send it.
The mailing is also confusing voters who have previously submitted absentee ballot applications themselves, Scott added. These voters are worried that their applications were not received, leading them to think they need to apply again.

(38,601 posts)1. I got one in Arlington, VA yesterday
Was going to post about it (people were alarmed because return address was wrong and it looked phony) but then I read things saying it was legit but the printer in PA had messed up.
So IDK.
Maybe just botched.

It would seem that way to me, and it is probably going to get worse the closer we get to Nov.
