The Montana GOP has challenged the eligibility of about 6000 voters in seven counties across the state. These people may have changed addresses and all they need to do is verify their correct address. It’s very simple.

I would expect nothing less from the MT GOP since Governor Brian Schweitzer talked about turning some dials during the 2006 general election to help his friend, Jon Tester, win a U.S. Senate seat.

It’s completely legal to challenge these voters to provide correct addresses. If anyone does not like it, then they need only express their displeasure to Schweitzer who brought doubt into the voter’s minds when he bragged about tampering with the election during his speech this summer in Philadelphia.

I don’t want a repeat of 2006. I’d like to see the voters and the candidates actually get a fair election in 2008.
