ORLANDO, Fla. - Can I or can't I? A local election office in central Florida created confusion by sending incorrect letters to about 1,200 newly registered voters telling them they missed the cut for November's general election and couldn't vote.
The Orange County Supervisor of Elections office had intended to give information on polling places to voters who just registered and those who recently changed their registrations.
A spokeswoman blamed the mistake on a bug in the program that printed the letters. A voter who received one tipped off officials. Corrected letters were being mailed Tuesday.
"No good deed goes unpunished, right?" said Linda Tanko, a senior deputy supervisor in the elections office. The letters were sent last week to both Republicans and Democrats.
"We were equal-opportunity offenders," Tanko said.
Only a small portion of voters were affected in Orange County, which includes the city of Orlando and had almost 570,000 registered voters at the end of September.
