On 10/14/21, the bi-partisan, Montana Districting Commission will announce the final delineated boundaries of the new House District. Approximating one of the nine maps now made available to the public.
After a Hearing on 10/19, that Commission will announce the final tentative map, and seek public comment.
That map may swing more votes to Ryan Zinke, or to Dr. Al Olszewski, to represent Western Montana in the US House of Representatives.
Of course, wealth class finance, pharma, and fossil fuel, businesses also want their interests to be well represented.
Of course, politics, also the oceans, will get warmer, and more acidic.
The oceans we often fail to consider.
Of course that means oceans less to think about.
And that makes us more vulnerable to disinformation campaigns.
Fact checking is as easy as is washing hands.
If our hands were dirty, would we not wash them, before marking our voter ballot?
