UPDATE: Oct. 28, 9:00 a.m. Cascade County Attorney Josh Racki said in a press conferences that investigators found no evidence that Nathan Ross Harlan ever came into Montana. Racki also said one of the questioned signatures was recognized by an employee’s daughter, who no longer lived in Montana. He said investigators also learned Harlan had done something similar involving a candidate in North Carolina. Racki said Harlan remained at large and that there was a $20,000 warrant out for his arrest. Racki said he did not know whether charges were filed in the North Carolina case.
