Judge to Soon Rule on 4 Laws Dems are Trying to Block and Kill
During the 2021 Montana Legislature, Republicans, led by Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, introduced and passed four laws that were designed to make elections more secure and safe. These include ones making it illegal to pay people to harvest and collect ballots through ballot drives, laws against election day voter legislation, and insisting that those wishing to vote need better identification than a student ID. These were all passed in light of allegations of election fraud during the last presidential loss and are currently the law of the land.
The Montana ACLU, Montana Democratic Party, and various youth voting advocacy groups went apoplectic and launched several suits, which have now been condensed into one. These groups hate the legislation with a passion, decrying it as little more than voter suppression and codified racism and want them declared unconstitutional. As a result of these suits, they were in court yesterday arguing to get these laws blocked and overturned, hoping for a preliminary injunction in time for the June primaries.
District Judge Michael Moses didn’t say much during the arguments, but rather listened to both sides and then thanked them for their efforts, saying he had “a lot of work left yet to do” as he mulled it over. He previously denied a motion by Jacobsen to dismiss the case outright, who previously argued that these laws would give voters greater confidence in elections across the state going forward. Moses did not say when he would make a ruling, but it is expected to come in a matter of weeks.
