I urge you to stand up and speak out AGAINST the Trump campaign and major components of the Republican party including the Montana Republican State Central Committee which has filed a lawsuit challenging the voting plan for the general election. This is sheer madness and a greedy grab for power which would, in effect, severely limit, deter or inhibit a citizen’s right to vote in a sane and safe way during this pandemic. It is well-researched and proven that voting by mail is safe and secure. Voting by mail makes it possible for persons living in rural areas, the elderly, persons who are ill or disabled, people who work full time and are also parents to vote without risking their lives, their safety or their jobs. The current plan allows Montana counties all-mail elections in November. It is sound and supports all citizens. THE PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SPOKEN – 46 COUNTIES HAVE SELECTED MAIL-IN OPTIONS. Don’t let the Trump campaign and the Republican party keep Montanans from voting.
