President Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican Party have sued Montana after Democratic Gov. Bullock gave counties the choice to conduct the November election entirely by mail amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The lawsuit in Montana names Bullock and Republican Secretary of State Corey Stapleton as defendants.
“This rushed and unconstitutional directive creates a patchwork election code with no uniform procedures across the state, automatically mails ballots to voters, and invites fraud, manipulation and administrative chaos. Upending our elections process in the 11th hour is a recipe for disaster,” McDaniel said in a statement.
Counties have until Friday to notify Stapleton on how they will conduct the election. According to the secretary of state’s elections office, 42 out of 56 counties have already confirmed they plan to hold the November elections entirely by mail.
