A bizarre electoral mix-up in Norfolk has left locals baffled after a resident received a Democratic primary ballot addressed to none other than former US President Donald Trump.
The error came to light when the unnamed resident opened their post to find the official voting document, clearly marked for Trump—a figure synonymous with the Republican Party.
Norfolk’s electoral services have since apologised for the blunder, attributing it to a clerical error. "We are investigating how this happened and have put measures in place to prevent a recurrence," a spokesperson said.
The incident has sparked both confusion and amusement, particularly given Trump’s vocal opposition to the Democratic Party. Political analysts suggest such errors, while rare, highlight the importance of rigorous checks in the electoral process.
Virginia, a key battleground state, has seen its fair share of election-related controversies in recent years. This latest episode adds an unexpected twist to the ongoing political narrative.
