Not quite sure how this happened, but the city of Detroit managed to post the wrong date for the city’s election on billboards across the city. And the date isn’t off by a few days — it’s off by two months. Politico reports:
The billboards purchased by the city urge citizens to vote Sept. 2nd in the general election, when the general election is actually Nov. 5, the Detroit Free Press reports.
City Clerk Janice Winfrey said the signs were updated by billboard company International Outdoor and that she immediately called them over the weekend to fix the mistake. Barring any rain, the billboards are set to be fixed Tuesday.
September 2nd instead of November 5th? Looks like somebody at International Outdoor is getting fired.
