Freedom, not a Free-For-All

Recently in D.C., the Senate considered yet another habitual attempt to impose a federal takeover of Montana’s elections

By Christi Jacobsen

Montanans love freedom. That is why many Americans have flocked to our As-Close-To-Perfect State as you can get. Americans are seeking refuge in our state from policies that counter what Montana stands for: freedom, friendly business climate, and less government. Recently in D.C., the Senate considered yet another habitual attempt to impose a federal takeover of Montana’s elections. This was not the first time, and it won’t be the last. Thank you, Sen. Steve Daines, for once again standing strong against President Joe Biden and D.C. Democrats.

The foundation of our State and our Country starts with our elections. As your Secretary of State, and in partnership with Gov, Greg Gianforte and the Legislature, Montana now has Voter ID, clean voter rolls, and has adopted best security standards. Montana also has incredibly high voter turnout, a high number of registered voters, and is outperforming the rest of the country. So why do President Biden and other Democrats (including Montana’s Democratic senator) demonize Montana elections? The answer is to turn Montana into California by dictating a free-for-all when it comes to running our elections and eliminating Voter ID, clean voter rolls, and best security standards, all of which are common sense and supported by most Montanans. This is what makes Montana, Montana.

I am here to serve you and keep us who we are — MONTANA.

Christi Jacobsen
Montana Secretary of State
