A mountainous, 2,600-square-mile region with a population of approximately 119,600 does not seem like your prototypical setting for machine politics. Yet a recent audit of mail-in ballots cast there found irregularities characteristic of larger urban centers — on a level that could have easily swung local elections in 2020, and statewide elections in cycles past.

The Biden administration, the Democrat-controlled Congress, and the Democratic National Committee are collectively pressing to both nationalize, and make permanent, many of the extraordinary pandemic-driven voting measures implemented during the 2020 election —particularly mass mail-in voting.

Political leaders and prominent media outlets have dismissed concerns raised by critics that such measures invite voter fraud. But could the election in small-county Missoula call all that into question?

The story at hand begins during the pandemic summer of 2020, when the then-governor, Democrat Steve Bullock, issued a directive permitting counties to conduct the general election fully by mail. In the run-up to the election, a court also struck down Montana’s law aimed at preventing ballot harvesting.

International Socialism was a huge movement in the early 1900s when the Copper Mines in Montana were hiring poor European socialist by the tens of thousands. The virus of communism there has survived until now and base thrived recently. This article is entirely plausible.

What comes next for Missoula County, given the discrepancies identified? State authorities say they are concerned about the findings, and may well take them up in a joint hearing of the Montana Senate and House judiciary committees. State representatives are also seeking to reinstate laws that would restrict ballot harvesting, as well as other election reforms.

This is true journalism, great article.

Yes, doubts exist. That's why the ratfink liberals are sinking USS America with millions of unwashed, diseased wetbacks across our southern borders.

Politicians care nothing about their constituents or the country. They solely care about continuing on the gravy train. No work. Huge benefits.

Butte, Montana, was for years (and may still be) the city where FBI foul-ups are sent for rehabilitation (or the gate). As you note, the IWW and Communists made major inroads into Montana’s mining industry and their influence remains to this day.
