Kamala Harris back on Montana’s overseas ballot

The electronic system used by Montana’s overseas and military voters to cast their ballots in home elections reportedly omitted Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ name Friday from those digital ballots — a situation Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen says has since been resolved.

The error was first reported by the Daily Inter Lake, which included an account by a Montana voter living in the United Kingdom who said Harris’ name was absent from his ballot when he accessed it through the Electronic Absentee System. In an email exchange with Montana Free Press Monday, Jacobsen’s office confirmed the report referenced in the article of a ballot “not displaying properly” through the system.

“The system was taken offline in the morning and was back online in the afternoon,” spokesperson Richie Melby wrote, adding that “the potentially impacted [overseas] voter who submitted a ballot has since been contacted, and no further action is required.”
