The state of Montana took its electronic absentee voting system offline shortly after it went live when prospective voters discovered Kamala Harris wasn't on the ballot.
While Harris is considered a severe underdog in Montana, Democrats are still hoping they can voters to turn out to save incumbent Senator Jon Tester against Donald Trump-endorsed Tim Sheehy.
Max Himsl, a voter living in the United Kingdom, wanted to make his choice once the ballots were online on Friday at 8am.
The ballot listed both Trump and the now out of the race independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. but not the vice president.
Himsl said: 'I'm upset my democratic process was interrupted'.
The Montana Secretary of State claims that the errors were only found in their online system.
'Our team and the vendor quickly investigated and found that only a few voters may have been impacted,' the Secretary of State's Office told the Daily Inter Lake.
'As a precaution, the Electronic Absentee System has been taken offline until troubleshooting is completed.'
They promised that the system would be back online shortly after they'd taken it down.
The voters impacted will be allowed to complete their ballots once it returns to functioning.
'This does not affect any other ballots, including those that will be sent by mail,' the Secretary of State's Office said.
Himsl, a first-time absentee voter, is worried about what this experience might mean for others.
'This is very concerning to me,' said Himsl.
Citizens living overseas, including members of the armed forces, are allowed by law to vote absentee in elections.
In Montana, a functioning absentee system allows them to vote starting 45 days until Election Day.
Cook Political Report rates Tester's race a 'toss up,' and former President Donald Trump won Montana by more than 16 points in 2020.

Just he fact that a "voter" in the UK is concerned they cannot vote for Kamala over the internet, should concern everyone.
I do not think any votes should be allowed 45 days before the election either.
Just WOW
LOL!! Payback for the 14 states that tried to keep Trump off the ballot.
Before all the Californitards moved in they probably wouldn’t have noticed.
Part of the democratic process is that the candidate gets to declare his candidacy and campaign for office. How do you do that when Election Day is a meaningless concept.
I don’t think our founders, nor the founders of any decent civilization, ever intended for the services of the common good to be administered by machines.
If you move to a different country, you shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Why should we suffer from your ignorance?
Online voting from overseas internet connection. What could go wrong?
If they can’t even get the nominee on the ballot how dang secure could it even be?
That's ridiculous.
Let's say you're am American who heads up export sales of our electronics into Germany.
Or you're a civilian supporting the far-flung US military.
Or you're a movie director doing a large project using the huge soundstages in England.
Or any of a variety of reasons why a patriotic American would find themselves living overseas. Don't be so flippant in taking away the franchise.

Democrat voter fraud is in high gear.......globally.
Pres Reagan signed into law the 1986 Uniformed and
Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA):
<><>to protect a time-honored tradition of overseas voting
<><>to enhance US citizens abroad and U.S. military members’ right to vote
<><>yet, federal law doesn’t provide clear, commonsense rules
<><>for how overseas voters register to vote
<><>or how their votes are compiled and counted.
<><>ergo, states can make their own laws — even bad ones.
But in August, we learned that Democrats have gone global, committing $300,000 to register and influence 9 million overseas voters — even though the federal government says only 2.4 million legal voters live in other countries. That’s 6.4 million votes that Democrats want to find...that don’t exist. The group financing the efforts——Democrats Abroad—— told CBS News that the ballots are likely to favor Kamala Harris.

How the heck is Kamala Harris considered a “major candidate” in Montana?
Wow if we were having problems this far out from Election Day could you imagine the chaos orchestrated by the evil swamp? And yet the RNC continues to tell us not to panic about thinking this election will be rigged or fixed. But you cannot shrug off the feeling that they are starting early to rig this election. Because they know that Trump has the big backing of 65% of the American population and they cannot rig the cheating high enough with their normal fraudulent votes so they have to seek votes from overseas to make the cheat believable… it will dwarf the too big to rig Trump narrative. So once again they are outsmarting the stupid party by dragging votes from all over the world including the illegal votes from the uninvited invaders who are here illegally. I am really really worried and scared for a nation.
There are a lot of expat voters all over the world. They’ve been voting for decades.
Not me.
a scene from one the better episodes
(in my opinion)
of one the top 30 longest running brit TV shows.
Someone will figure it out.
In this episode the President was basically Trump, and he was targeted by the deep alien state because he was not a pussy.
They tried to kill him a few times, and the rest of his administration sold the assassination attempts on reality TV just so they could get money.
I realize you are indoctrinated by democrat talking points, but let me help you by doing an intervention: Those “Californitards” are called in real life “illegal aliens” who are citizens of neither california nor the united states, they invaded right wing red california, but the good news is they are now leaving to go to other states while california is slowly going back to it’s normal red self, which even the CA state government admits:

If any situation you mentioned, you get your butt home and vote!
Military and maybe a few other rare situations like stuck in hospital overseas could be approved for out of country vote by mail but all other able bodied people should respect their right to vote enough to get home.
None of this baloney of convenience voting online which we know easily is hacked.
They’re just making up for them and other states leaving RFK Jr. on their ballots..
“I realize you are indoctrinated by democrat talking points,”
Can’t pull nothin’ over on you. I’ll have to be more careful in the future.
