“Sorry, this is going to backfire.....Are you seriously going to tell me there isn’t one conservative in the entire state of Montana who can beat Tester on the up and up?”
Well there better be, or no amount of tinkering with the election mechanism is going to help. To repeat, the ONLY thing the jungle primary is going to accomplish here is to make this a two-man race in November instead of having three or more candidates on the ballot.
Those two candidates will be Tester and some Republican.
Having 1 Democrat and 1 Republican on a November election ballot isn’t exactly unprecedented in the history of U.S. elections.
This isn’t some complex liberal concoction like Rigged Choice Voting (see Alaska), it’s much ado about nothing. But if Democrats are squealing because they won’t be able to use one of their typical underhanded tricks in what will surely be a close election, then let them howl. They can redirect the money they would have spent on a Libertarian to generating more vote fraud in Missoula.
So, there isn’t one conservative who can beat Tester in the entire state of Montana?
It will be entertaining watching the gyrations at the fake ballot factories.
