Voting chaos as state is forced to shut down electronic polling system after major candidate was left off

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.

'As a precaution, the Electronic Absentee System has been taken offline until troubleshooting is completed.'

The Montana Secretary of State claims that the errors were only found in their online system.

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.

He won the state by more than 16 points in 2020 and by more than 20 points over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The importance of the race will be on full display on Friday, when former President Donald Trump holds a rally in support of Sheehy.

Himsl, a first-time absentee voter, is worried about what this experience might mean for others.
