40,000 leaflets sent out with the wrong polling place address. We've been directing calls to the Wisconsin Citizen Action Fund but I can't get a real person to answer there. They corrected the mistake but only on one radio station- a conservative and religious one. The gentleman did manage to speak to the woman at the Citizen Action Fund but didn't seem to get much help.
