The House of Representatives issued vouchers on Monday inviting visitors to the “State of the Uniom” address, a day before President Trump was set to deliver his State of the Union address.
The Sergeant at Arms’ office, which is typically responsible for printing the tickets, told the Washington Examiner the “misprint” would not delay ticket dispersal.
“There was a misprint on the ticket. A correction has been made and our office is redistributing the tickets. There is no expected delay in ticket distribution,” the SAA said.
Republicans may have to recall all State of the Union tickets because they say “Uniom” not “Union,” per two Dem aides. pic.twitter.com/FosSnznIHp

Molly Edwards, director of press operations for House Speaker Paul Ryan, said on Twitter that Republicans were not responsible for printing the tickets.
“Republicans” did not print this ticket, per this Republican aide. https://t.co/SivxVFoGaf

The SAA said that moving forward they will work with individuals who have misprinted tickets to “make sure they are able to attend the event.”
A misprint like this has “definitely not” happened in recent years, the Sergeant at Arms office said. And the office does not “recall this happening before.”
Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday night. The president told reporters Monday that the speech would cover “a lot of territory,” including immigration and infrastructure.
