[MCN] absentee voting in Montana's primary

[Rich]

Hi Missoulians and beyond,
I have been working with a few petition canvassers to spread the word about the "glitch" in the Montana absentee balloting. It turns out that in the off election years (2014 for instance) their computer system is set to send out postcards that ask absentee voters to fill out and return if they want to continue being absentee voters.
Turns out there was this glitch in 2014 so that these cards never got sent. This was somehow discovered a couple months ago and the brilliant minds in the elections division decided to send the cards out then in 2016. Unfortunately, being an election year, most people thought that this was a mistake, and just ignored the postcards. Now, there is no telling how many Montana absentee voters are deactivated and have not received their absentee ballots, but it is quite a few even beyond Missoula. So, people need to go to election centrals and reactivate their voting and vote. Please don't wait for the last day Tuesday, June 7, it will probably be a madhouse!

peace,
