Montana’s electronic absentee voting system hit a snag just as overseas voters were gearing up to cast their ballots in the upcoming federal election. According to Daily Inter Lake, the issue came to light when Max Himsl, a Montana resident living in the United Kingdom, opened his electronic ballot and noticed something troubling: Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris was missing from the list of options. Only Republican candidate Donald Trump and Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were listed.
“I’m upset my democratic process was interrupted,” Himsl said, reflecting the frustration felt by many who rely on the system to have their votes counted from abroad.
The error was discovered shortly after the state’s Electronic Absentee System went live on Friday, September 20, allowing eligible overseas voters to cast their ballots up to 45 days before the November 5th general election. The system is intended to serve Montana residents living abroad, including members of the armed forces, by making it easier for them to vote.
The Montana Secretary of State’s Office confirmed that the issue was isolated to the online voting system and did not affect traditional mail-in ballots. “Our team and the vendor quickly investigated and found that only a few voters may have been impacted,” the office stated in an email. As a precaution, the Electronic Absentee System was taken offline for troubleshooting.
The glitch was expected to be resolved by later that same day, and the system would be back up for those impacted to cast their votes. Himsl, voting absentee online for the first time, immediately reported the issue to the Flathead County Election Department. He later received an email confirming that the Secretary of State’s office was aware of the problem and working to correct it.
The Secretary of State’s Office reassured voters that this problem was confined to the online system and did not affect any other ballots, including those mailed out. They are working diligently to ensure the system is functioning properly for all eligible voters.

Who cares if Harris the Kamel’ and Tampax Timmy are MIA… leave them off the ballot because Communists have no business running for American public office!!!
Better take your meds stupid asshole.
Republicans crying about democrats cheating that wasn’t a glitch that was an exclusion. Republicans cheat and point fingers at dems. This won’t be the last cheat by Republicans
What about convicted criminals? Donald Trump is a 34 time convicted felon, a criminal. Donald Trump is civilly liable for sexual assault, which is rape. Donald Trump incited a mob to storm the capitol in an attempt to overthrow the democratic process after he lost the 2020 election. This is after he and the Republican Parties of numerous states coordinated slates of fake electors who would submit false vote tallies in an attempt to overthrow democracy. This is all public knowledge and CERTIFIABLY TRUE. They are facts you can find the primary sources that reported on it easily.
Kamala Harris is not guilty of any election interference at all and you need to recognize that when Donald Trump loses Kamala will be your president and still act in YOUR best interest as president, because that’s the job of the president.
Donald Trump on the other hand has promised that if he wins, he will declare war on his detractors and will commit the resources of the American Federal government to use against the american people. He had claimed he will use the army to enforce his will on the people. He has begged his supporters to act violently and promised to pardon them and commute their sentences.
These are all frighteningly antidemocratic threats and you shouldn’t want to have a president who acts so violent, unhinged, crazy and frankly like a weird old man with dementia.
Kamala Harris is a functional adult who can do the job of president. Donald Trump would use the presidency to enact violence and destruction. He’s promised to do so.
Wow even bots are here.
No way that was an accident. Republicans are a bunch of cheaters from Trump through the Supreme Court and down.
Trump claims elections are always “rigged.” That’s 100% projection.
We all know it was INTENTIONALLY OMITTED off the ballot!! All of the ballots need to be discarded and the voters need to REVOTE!! Plain & Simple
