Early voting in Montana is a little weird. You go to your county courthouse, fill out an absentee request, and then they give you an absentee ballot that you can fill out at a number of voting booths set up in the office. It may end up being more urban-heavy since rural voters could theoretically drive farther to get to the county courthouse rather than their regular polling place. When I early voted it was actually extremely busy and I had to wait a long time to vote. Longer in fact than I've ever waited to vote.

On the other hand, rural voters may end up voting when they go into town just to get it over and done with since who knows what the weather will be like next Tuesday (it's already snowed and few times and we've had sub-zero lows the last few nights).
