On-line Ballot Error In Montana, What You Need To Know

Friday, September 20, 2024, 8 am, Overseas Voting Went On Line For Montana

Kalispell's The Daily Interlake reported Max Himsl and his wife noticed a discrepancy on their on-line overseas ballot, Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris was missing. The online ballot included Republican nominee Donald Trump and Independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr., but no Kamala Harris. The Montana Secretary of State's office was made aware of the problem, halted voting for a time on Friday, September 20, 2024, fixed the issue, and voting resumed later in the afternoon of Friday, September 20.

The Kamala Harris Issue Was Isolated To On-Line Montana Ballots

The good news is that the paper ballots for Montana, both absentee and in person, have Kamala Harris on the ballot.

LOOK OUT: Do Not Answer Unknown Calls From These Area Codes

The bad news is that for Montanans working and living overseas, their access to accurate ballots for our next election was stalled for a time. The good news on the bad news is the Montana ballots have been corrected.

Yes, This Whole Thing Sucks-NO, Montana's Election Integrity IS NOT At Risk

#1:  Who's job was to make sure all of the people running for office in Montana and America were on the ballot? You completely, totally, and utterly blew it.

#2: Get a hold of yourselves, conspiracy loving Montanans. I am no fan of Montana's Secretary of State, but I'll be the first one to say, I don't think this was intentional. For the love of America, who in their right MIND would think they'd get away with such shenanigans.  Get it together.

#3: If you really want to turn elections upside down in Montana, fool with the mail-in ballots.  That's where you hurt a Montana election. Vote at home shows Montana, in 2022, had the highest number of mail-in ballots in America at 89 percent

While I HATE it that Montana got off on the wrong foot for voting in 2024 and it will be used as fodder for years to come as to why this person or that person lost the election, I love that we fixed it immediately.

Now, go fill out your ballot and get that thing in the mail. If you aren't registered to vote, hit this link and get registered.
