Secretary of State Michele Reagan’s office issued incorrect instructions to candidates seeking to get on the primary ballot, and only notified them of the problems in the final weeks of signature-gathering.

State Elections Director Eric Spencer downplayed that likelihood, saying the changes were minimal.
