Also, the office will continue to count ballots coming in from Montanans serving in the military overseas for a few days after the election.
According to The Boston Globe, there were 1539 Montana National Guard in Iraq in 2005.
According to About.com, courtesy of American Forces News Service , there are 3,663 Active Duty Military personnel from Montana in the ranks.
Still awfully hard to make up the defecit with those numbers. Who knows what percentage of the soldiers voted period and of those how many either voted in other states or get their ballots in on time. And some of them (say 30%) would be Dem. And I doubt the provisionals break for either side by much of a margin.
