The San Diego County of Registrar made an oops. It accidentally charged 91 jurisdictions a total of $427,000 for the November 2006 general election. Last week, the registrar mailed checks to the jurisdictions. The biggest check was $78,000 for the San Diego Community College District. The error occurred because the two vendors (Merrill Publishing and CTS LanguageLink) that created and printed the sample ballots charged the jurisdictions twice. Registrar head Deborah Seiler said the confusion happened because of unclear contract language. Merill gave the registrar $400,000 for future services.
