Montana County Overcounts Votes, Declares Wrong Winner.

 Election officials in Montana have identified a significant overcount of votes during June’s primary, leading to the incorrect declaration of winners in two races.

State election officials have yet to determine the exact cause of the discrepancy.

A post-canvassing audit of the Butte-Silver Bow County election revealed that 1,131 additional ballots had been cast compared to the total voters who participated.

The National Pulse recently reported that the Georgia State Election Board voted three to two on adopting a rule mandating the total number of votes cast to be reconciled with the total number of voters recorded for an election.According to the rule, the total number of votes cast in each precinct must be reconciled with the total number of votes counted in the same precinct.

The move comes in response to Fulton County, Georgia, having been found to have improperly scanned ballots in the 2020 election.

If a discrepancy is found, the State Election Board will then determine the cause and develop a resolution in accordance with state law.

Over 300,000 ballot images in the county remain missing.
