The GOP mailed wrong information to voters in a Senate battleground. They say it was a mistake.

The Republican National Committee sent out a mailer in a key state in the battle for the Senate in the upcoming midterm elections that erroneously informed voters about how to vote absentee.

The mailer told voters in Montana, where incumbent Sen. Jon Tester (D) is engaged in a competitive fight against Republican challenger Matt Rosendale, that absentee ballots could be postmarked until the day before the election as long as they were received within 10 days of Nov. 6.

But election officials told local reporters that the state’s rules stipulate that ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day, regardless of the postmark.

The RNC said the error was a mistake it was working to fix.
