Is there anything illegal here?

Thanks for the link.
It appears there are four legal complaints:

1. violating the code that prohibits use of any 'fraudulent contrivance' to compel anyone to vote a certain way.
2. violating a code that prohibits one from disseminating misleading information about election procedures.
3. not registering with the Commissioner when engaging in political activities.
4. impersonating a public servant.

#1 and #4 appear to be using the seal of the state of Montana - which I guess by itself isn't illegal since it's not listed in the complaint.
On #2 I'm not sure what the procedures referred to are - probably something about a non-partisan election.
#3 might be a difficult judgement call.

It does seem the primary issues are those arising from the use of the seal.
