A supposedly married couple are running for Senate in Montana, in different parties:
Montana’s post-truth political power couple set the hook early.
By the time anyone questioned the truthfulness of a married couple running as U.S. Senate candidates for opposing parties, the media had already taken the bait.
William James Dean and his wife, Sarah, have an unlikely story. James the Republican financial adviser and Sarah the Democratic fashion designer this month set out to race through the primaries and meet on the ballot next November. They did their coming-out interview together in their local Havre newspaper. The Associated Press picked it up a few days later. And then television.
The heavy-hitters in Montana’s U.S. Senate race were already tearing each other down. The Deans? Well, they love each other. They are a team no matter what, maybe even conspirators.
“Another Republican has announced he’s running to unseat Sen. Jon Tester next year — and his wife is challenging Tester as a Democrat,” reported one broadcast, which described the couple as first-time candidates.
The Deans aren’t who they said they are, at least not exactly. William James Dean is no newcomer. In the last election cycle Dean, who currently goes by James, filed to run for president in California under a different name, Daniel Lane Dean, the name that appeared on his Air Force Academy diploma, and his Hawaiian state bar exam, and a divorce record that shows him being served dissolution papers while working for the Judge Advocate General Corps at Guantanamo Bay.
Sarah Dean has used no fewer than four names, each affiliated with an online business, or a Christian ministry, a collection of children’s books, or a crowd-funded charity.

Yea, sounds like a scam to me too.
