Montanans did NOT willingly send 11 more Democrats to the Montana Legislature this year — they were FORCED to.
The Redistricting Commission, made up of a majority of partisan Democrats, did NOT follow the law. The Democrat-majority Redistricting Commission
(1) Created districts that aren’t sufficiently compact,
(2) Created districts that don’t comply with community-of-interest goals,
(3) Created districts with partisan intent.
That there are now 11 more Democrats in the Legislature is NOT a surprise. That the Redistricting Commission didn’t follow the law and purposefully gerrymandered districts so that Democrats would win more districts IS a travesty of justice.
It is obvious after this election that Montana rejects the liberal mantra that is intent on taking away our hard-earned wages, our children, and our constitutional rights. As a Republican, I will continue to fight for the Montana that voted for our Montana way of life.
