Trump Lawyer Agrees No Fraud in Montana's All-Mail Primary

President Donald Trump’s campaign agreed with a Montana judge that the state’s June primary didn’t lead to any fraud even though it was conducted almost entirely by mail, contradicting a theme being pressed by Republicans in litigation across the U.S. over expanded use of absentee ballots.

The campaign is seeking a court order blocking Governor Steve Bullock’s plan to automatically mail ballots to all registered voters for the Nov. 3 election ...

But U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen said at a hearing Tuesday that Montana’s history of fraud-free elections goes back at least 20 years, even though most voters in the state regularly use absentee ballots.

“Montana is to be commended,” Trump campaign lawyer Tyler R. Green said under questioning by the judge.

There is NO way it can be tainted. Everything is counted at least three times by three different groups of three people, the votes are not tallied by people and the machine that counts them is NOT connected to the web.
