An election official in a Florida county dismissed allegations from a Donald Trump ally that the front-runner's name was left off some ballots.

“The ballots were not misprinted to leave in some candidates and leave some out,” Lew Oliver, the chairman of the county Republican Party, told POLITICO. “No one has reported that and if that happened I’m positive it would have been reported to me."

Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone tweeted that there were “ballot misprints in Orange County” and the “Trump Ballot Security Project” was sending attorneys. A tweeted photo purported to show a ballot watermarked SAMPLE and lacking Trump’s name. But another user responded with what appeared to be an image of the ballot including Trump.

Stone, a Trump campaign spokeswoman, and county party officials didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
