There is zero reason to give the conservatives governing these places any benefit of the doubt on this matter, especially when this has been a known, long standing issue that they have failed again and again and again to show any actual interest in addressing.
We are not, which is why I mentioned Florida where there is an ongoing investigation about something very similar that happened to a bunch of people there. It could be a one off. It could also be following a pattern established elsewhere. Time will tell.Are we sure this was done intentionally? Someone handing out a wrong ballot in a primary could easily be an honest mistake. We have an unusual political environment right now where the most progressive Republican in congress is to the right of the most conservative Democrat, and where primary voters wouldn't want it any other way. The parties do take extreme stances, with a preference for narrow base-pleasing wins.
