The elections department in Flathead County, Montana, said that it sent out the wrong number of ballots to an unknown number of voters during Tuesday’s election.

Officials in the county said that voters in the Nov. 7 municipal elections in Kalispell got the wrong ballots, according to a news release obtained by the Flathead Beacon. They blamed the error on a clerical mistake.
