Colorado was trying to do it on purpose using the legal system. This at least sounds like a mistake.
“Mistake”
“Whoopsie daisy, I forgot to add 1 of the 2 candidates to the voting system, I’m such a silly goose”
I mean, absentee votes in Montana are not a very good target if it was intentional.
If you’re trying to sow doubt in the election process from the ground up, it’s a great place to start.
“Look Montana had an issue with absentee votes, where else do we have issues”
Becomes
“Montana had absentee voting issues, we can’t trust anything from absentee votes at all, they don’t count”
Uhm, every vote counts.
Surely. But if your purpose it to affect the ultimate outcome with the electoral college in mind, then this is not a good choice. It's not exactly a swing state. Far from it.
