I'm not convinced that the
law they were charged under applies to the things they handed out:
Sample ballots may be printed by the board of elections for all general elections. The ballots shall be printed on colored paper, and "Sample Ballot" shall be plainly printed in boldface type on the face of each ballot. In counties of less than one hundred thousand population, the board may print not more than five hundred sample ballots; in all other counties, it may print not more than one thousand sample ballots. The sample ballots shall not be distributed by a political party or a candidate, nor shall a political party or candidate cause their title or name to be imprinted on sample ballots.
The way I read it, it implicitly only applies to the limited number of sample ballots that can be printed on colored paper by the Board of Elections, not to anything you print yourself.
