Democrats, who've attempted to remove former President Donald Trump and other third-party candidates from ballots in states across the country, just got a small taste of their own medicine, and they didn't like it.

An apparent technical glitch in Montana's electronic absentee voting system for overseas voters resulted in a voter noticing that Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris was not listed as a candidate, according to Newsweek.

The incident on Friday led to the voting system being briefly shut down while the error was corrected, after which it was relaunched with no additional problems.

Harris' name missing from the ballot

According to local media outlet Daily Inter Lake, registered Montana voter Max Himsl, a resident of Flathead County currently living and working with his spouse in the United Kingdom, experienced a problem when he attempted to use the state's Electronic Absentee System when it first went live for early voting on Friday.

His preferred candidate, VP Harris, was not listed as an option, and he quickly complained about the "concerning" issue to county election officials and informed them that he was "upset my democratic process was interrupted."

In an initial statement about the incident, the Montana Secretary of State's office said, "Our team and the vendor quickly investigated and found that only a few voters may have been impacted. As a precaution, the Electronic Absentee System has been taken offline until troubleshooting is completed."

That system, authorized by the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, allows members of the military, their spouses and dependents, and other eligible citizens living overseas to participate in U.S. elections from abroad, and for some states like Montana, that includes being allowed to cast a ballot online through the special system.

Problem was quickly addressed and system was restored

According to local NBC affiliate KTVH, the Electronic Absentee System was only taken down for a few hours after the erroneous absence of VP Harris was noticed and quickly corrected.

"The Secretary of State's Office appreciates the vendor's quick troubleshooting and resolution," a Friday afternoon press release said. "The Montana Elections Team is grateful to our Montana military members serving abroad, and we're honored to serve them, their families, and overseas citizens."

It was further noted by an office spokesperson that the impacted voter had been contacted and that "no further action is required."

That was all confirmed in a statement to Newsweek from an office spokesperson, who said, "On Friday morning, our office received a report of a ballot not displaying properly for a UOCAVA voter [meaning eligible military and overseas citizens]. As mentioned, the system was taken offline in the morning for troubleshooting with the vendor, and it was back online in the afternoon."

"The potentially impacted UOCAVA voter who submitted a ballot has since been contacted, and no further action is required. Vice President Kamala Harris and all certified candidates appear on Montana's ballots," the spokesperson added.

No, Harris was not deliberately left off Montana's absentee ballot

Of course, Democrat-fueled conspiracy theories and rumors of blatant election fraud flowed immediately, and USA Today reported that the Montana SoS office said in an additional statement, "Contrary to egregious misinformation campaigns circulating online, the Montana Secretary of State's Office certified all qualified candidates to appear on its 2024 General Election ballot."

"As always, voters should rely on Montana's trusted sources for credible election information, including the Secretary of State's Office and the state's 56 county election offices," the statement added.
