Thanks for asking Melissa.

Citizen requests to the SoS office for clarity on EXACTLY what data was sent to the federal government are helpful, relevant, and timely. She has not been forthcoming. SSNs? Driver licenses?
Email SoS, phone SoS, or public comment at next SAVA meeting are the best ways.

"We are the oversight committee for the secretary of state, and we hadn’t heard about that despite it happening for the last year. Why is that? Omitting something that important seems very mysterious, given what our relationship is supposed to be with an executive branch office.”

β€œAnd since then, we have learned more about doings in the SOS office, including previously unreported knowledge that our voter data have been sent to the feds at least once."

β€œI have to express disappointment in the memo we received. I think at least four times last meeting I asked for a source of the funding and the quantity of funding to pay for the postcard mailer, and that is not in this document,” said Rep. Kelly Kortum, D-Bozeman.

Our committee is tired of the runaround. I will request a subpoena next meeting. #mtpol #mtleg

How many taxpayer dollars did you spend on that campaign ad?

Did you know you were running for congress when you sent the mailer?

Whose job is it to hold you accountable and why are you evading them?

Legislative committee continues to press secretary of state for info on mailer costs, voter files Frustrated over unanswered questions, lawmakers weigh subpoena power.

Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen has never answered our questions in person, and now her office has stopped sending anyone at all to the oversight committee.

How much of our private voter data did you send to the feds?

This guy? He was known in Montana for lying on the campaign trail. He was dubbed β€œShady Sheehy”.

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?

We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.

Let save a lot of hand-wringing over the next 8 months in the #mtsen race.

Dem candidate doesn't drop out. Bodnar and Dem candidate split vote.

Daines' coronated R candidate wins easily.

Great job team.

Please do not sign any petition to put an β€œindependent” candidate on the Montana ballot for Congress. Any β€œindependent” will have to decide who to caucus with after the election anyway, so it’s just one step removed from picking D or R. #mtnews #mtpol #mthouse #mtsen

I think one of the things that bothers me the most about the way Polymarket presents itself to the world is that it's adopted the language of journalism to make itself sound more legitimate. Like look at this post from yesterday morning incorrectly "projecting" the winner.

10 permanent jobs for $4.5 million dollars of state funds?!?!

Data centers DO NOT pencil out for workers, taxpayers, or ratepayers.

Montanans don't want to compete with data centers for their electricity.

You are all suck ups who warmonger while your constituents beg for healthcare and housing.

Montana is being hollowed out by your types and you celebrate a distraction war staged by a foreign-controlled pedophile.

If you wish to see the sycophantic, spineless responses from Montana's DC delegation, regarding the president starting a war to distract from his sex crimes, I have compiled some in the thread 🧡 below.

Not an independent though among them. Parrots. True cowards.

Email: Unions urged Montana Democrats to back off negative messaging on data centers As the conversation over data centers heats up in Montana, the state’s largest union federation urged leadership at the Montana Democratic Party to back off negative messaging on the hot-button

The ratepayers of Montana are properly skeptical of data centers and their impact on electricity.

I hate the framing of everything on a linear "left-right" scale because that hides all sorts of nuance, but this is nonsense. People want to follow LEADERS and leaders LEAD by having convictions and getting people behind those convictions. Not by figuring out "what's mainstream" and adopting that.
