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.

Talk about you had one job. It’s a fucking two party dualopoly and you still f’d it up. Wreaks of intent.
Also way to go Montana for having online voting though. How many states have this now?
I’m going to give you “dualopoly,” it’s usually duopoly but I like yours.
But the omission “reeks” of evil intent, as in we smell a rat. It will “wreak” (cause with terrible consequences) havoc on the election.
Obviously it doesn’t really matter in Lemmy comments, but in case you want to use the words in a more formal situation, the more you know 🌈.
Reeks.
Look, it’s a one-party system, be realistic. Before running an obvious spoiler you should focus on winning the Republican primary and getting more people in the state legislature.
