I have your answer. The reason the race in MT appears to be an anomaly is this: in 2008 Tester ONLY won due to voter fraud by stuffing of ballots at the polling stations by DEM operatives. Yep. Really happened. THEN… when the evidence was gathered and it went to court… The case got tossed. Yep. really happened. So.. MT has Tester. Now… MT does not use electronic voting machines. Mostly uses paper ballot that then gets scanned, then tallies etc. MT also uses ID…meaning a form of ID is required. in MT Driver's Lic requirements are Birth Certificate or Passport. Period. So… with things so locked down how could voting fraud occur? ballot stuffing is one way. MT has several different Native American reservations… LOTS of fraud occurs there. The belief is that MT is used as a testing ground for voting fraud practices to see what works and what does not. Absentee Ballot fraud is also rampant due to the large population of elderly voters in the state. MT is a most definitely a RED state… so why does MT have a very BLUE Senator and Governor? Voting fraud is the only way. On the local levels… the Dems really DO run as Repubs in order to get into office then… their true colors come out. Its a thang here folks. Do NOT discount this race.
