Ballot printing errors delayed the results of Zinke’s primary by two days, the Associated Press reported. A Lincoln County was forced to hand count the results after a vendor printed the ballots on the wrong sized paper. Under Montana law, all ballots must be either manually counted or counted by a machine, the secretary of state’s office said.
