Montana temporarily shut down its online absentee voting system after a voter realized that Kamala Harris was not listed as a canidate on his ballot.

Montana’s election season has gotten off to a rocky start after absentee voters realized Kamala Harris was not a listed candidate on their ballot.

The state was forced to shut down its electronic absentee voter system after it went live on September 20 when a voter reported that there was no option to vote for the vice president.

Max Himsl, a Montana voter living in the UK, reported the issue when trying to fill out his ballot online, according to the Daily Inter Lake, a local newspaper. He reported it right away to the Flathead County Election Department on Friday, September 20.

As a precaution the Secretary of State’s office, run by Republican Christi Jacobson, took down the electronic absentee system for troubleshooting, although it insisted that very few voters had been affected by this issue.

    sure. the indigenous people were just genocided, i guess, forced out or killed, I don’t even know. hopefully the headline in question doesn’t mean someone is trying to throw all elections in the state into question. it’s early still.
