from The National Pulse:
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. 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 vote inflation appears uniformly across the county’s various precincts.
The errors resulted in an incorrect winner being declared in a Republican precinct committeeman race and the wrong candidate being named in a county attorney general race as vote leader heading into a run-off election. State election officials have yet to determine the exact cause of the discrepancy.

However, County Clerk and Recorder Linda Sajor-Joyce is speculating the ballot overcount is the result of sample data not being cleared from the tabulation software. Even then, local news reports indicate Sajor-Joyce still cannot account for nearly a dozen mystery votes.
Election integrity activists stress the Montana situation as an example of the nationwide need for reconciliation processes when tabulating vote counts. 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. If a discrepancy is found, the State Election Board will then determine the cause and develop a resolution in accordance with state law. The move comes in response to Fulton County, Georgia, having been found to have improperly scanned ballots in the 2020 election. Over 300,000 ballot images in the county remain missing.
