Steven David Daines (born August 20, 1962) is an American businessman, entrepreneur, and the junior United States Senator from Montana. He was the United States Representative for Montana's at-large congressional district from 2013 to 2015. In the 2014 election, he won an open U.S. Senate seat, defeating Democrat Amanda Curtis.
Based on the article, he know Steven Daines won the election. However, I think this fooled the system because the system cannot tell by how much he won the election by.
