Butte-Silver Bow election officials must conduct a complete recount of the June 4 primary election results in the next few days because they believe about 1,000 ballots were inadvertently counted twice on election night.
“I think what happened, because this has happened to us in the past, is that someone accidentally took ballots that had come out of the tabulator, put them in the wrong spot and they got counted again,” Linda Sajor-Joyce, Butte-Silver Bow’s clerk and recorder, told The Montana Standard late Friday afternoon.
