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.

    At this point the GOP will just keep trying crap like this and people will just allow it all … until eventually, the right just gets tired of playing around and just takes power out right because they know no one will stop them

      If you really feel this way, you’re too tired and need a break. Others can and will spell you.

      You should take some time to recover and avoid posting defeatist stuff like this.

      Hope you feel better!

        I also feel this way, I would like that break you’re talking about. When can I expect my check for 12-48 months worth of living expenses and the ticket to a country that isn’t one election away from fascism?
