MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — A loud "oh no" was voiced by Republican leaders Thursday as they realized that thousands of voters in heavily Republican Shelby County received a GOP flyer urging them to vote for a Democrat.

Republicans issued news releases and held a news conference Thursday to try to offset any damage by the mailed flyer from the Shelby County Republican Party.

It shows a sample ballot and marks the Republican candidate in every race except for Public Service Commission, where it endorses Democrat Susan Parker over Republican Perry Hooper Jr.

"This was a monumental mistake and is attributable entirely to human error," county GOP Chairman Matthew Fridy said in a statement. He said the county party is supporting the entire Republican slate.

and the letter "O" in the phrase "Every Vote Counts."
