Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) is the projected winner in Montana, surviving a race that tightened in the final weeks amid heavy campaigning by President Trump and his eldest son, Donald Trump, Jr.
Tester, a third-generation farmer from north central Montana, ran on his record and did not invite any prominent Democratic politicians to campaign for him in an effort to keep the focus on him and his opponent, Matt Rosendale, a Maryland transplant who moved to the state in 2002.

Dems working overtime to manufacture enough votes.
Yeah, that would be in Billings, but that area (Yellowstone County) went for Rosendale. Probably not by as much as could be for the reason you said, but I was there a few weeks ago and not a lot of Tester signs...were all Rosendale/Gianforte signs.
MT SOS has a great website, details it all:

Tester won in Gallatin County (Bozeman), Lewis & Clark (Helena), and Missoula County (Missoula, of course..). Also a few of the smaller counties, and the resort areas like around Whitefish...where idiot Californians move to and end up voting for the same insanity they left.
People in Montana really hate them...
Rosendale won where the real Montanans live, his out of state origin notwithstanding.
I dont think there is ANY college in Manhattan that is even a BIT conservative.
A few years back i took some classes at Columbia and the woman I met with who was the head of the business dept told me “staten island, huh? I like you so i’ll give you a heads up. Just DONT talk politics if it’s brought up.”
Nice :)
I would think that getting mailed a letter allegedly containing rician might make senator Collins a bit less wobbly. I can hope
Lee Enterprises own almost all the big newspapers in Montana.
Look online at the stories in the newspapers in the cities in Montana. They all run the same stories.
Lee Enterprises is extremely Liberal. The small town newspapers run stories about local sports and who was in the newspaper photos 20 years ago.
Lee Enterprises is losing their power. Their subscription numbers are horrible. I suspect that if advertisers knew just how horrible, they wouldnt waste their money advertising in a Lee Enterprise paper.
They are dying, but they still had enough life to get in one more bite.
I used to live in Mt. Was a great place then was planning on retiring there. Screw that! Im heading for a red state you can have tester and his rat buddies!
how can minn vote for with a credible history of domestic violence?....
here in washington, there was a referendum that local communities could NOT raise food taxes, and believe it or not about 45% voted against it.....WTF?
We’re both of Italian blood, paesano’ so I get your angle ;)
You’re assuming that the GOP in Montana actually wanted to best Tester.
I wouldn’t make that assumption.
What we want is less government. Republicans need to learn to stop spending money and reduce the size of government. Right now it's trillion dollar budget deficits out to infinity.
The other big player for the Democrats in Montana are the Indians.
They vote in our elections, but we cant vote in theirs.
The only thing that has to happen is for the federal government to shut off funds to the Bureau Of Indian Affairs.
No arguing over the land.
Just no more white man money.
If the Reservations are sovereign nations, then they should be treated as such.
They should collect their own taxes for their own use.
For crying out loud, do we let France vote in our elections?
Do we give Italy our hard-earned Taxpayer money?
Knock off this Democrat supporting sovereign nation baloney.
Defund the BIA.
I remember when lardass Tester was first elected. The democrats saw his crewcut and figured he wa a real cowboy. The face of democrats was going to change. Democrats could be tough guys. The All American types. He was interviewed and said he was prolife! He said he was all for the 2nd Amendment, then got in a pickup truck and drove off. Well you can guess what happened. He got to Washington and he was just another liberal democrat who voted the way he was told to vote. He is pro abortion, pro queer marriage. Pro ObamaCare. Hes about as conservative as Chuck Schumer. Hes also not had a hunting license in years. In otherwords hes liar like all democrats are. Hell say anything to get elected. Hes a fat version of the equally worthless Joe Manchin.
Yes we are
The only ones that can Completely understand us are other paesani :)
“Government and tourism are Montanas big employers now.”
The fools who rule Montana have set up a situation where a significant percentage of kids who grow up in Montana leave the state for jobs. I know because I was one of them. I live in Phoenix, I have a brother who lives in the Bay Area, and a sister who lives in Wyoming.
Montana was once a very Conservative, Constitution-loving, Republican-friendly stronghold. They should have built a wall to keep out the Left-coast immigrants.
****.
Tester up by 7,000 with 4% still not reported is a called race but Rick Scott up by 34,000 is a recount? And Martha Mcally up by 24,000 isn’t a called race with all but 1% reported?
Libertarians screw us, and the country, in every election.
Libertarians and their candidates are a perennial plague on this Republic. They all know their candidates have not a snowball’s chance in winning, but it matters not to them, because “they have their principles.” So, although the libertarian rarely if ever wins an office, still they guarantee a Republican loss whenever there is a close race.
The Libertarian is in truth a utopian, no different than a liberal as a matter of practical outcome. The libertarian amoral model fails to recognize that man is a fallen creature; and, by that deficiency, if it were ever enacted the result would be would anarchy.
But Libertarians are too arrogant and self—centered to ever admit their philosophy is seriously flawed on its merits. So, they happily continue to undermine elections and scuttle decent Republican conservative candidates. Rather than bring about a constitutional “revolution,” the Libertarians ensure that Socialist Democrats prevail, and thus they give the worst political outcomes for Americans.
This is why women should never have been allowed to vote. They invariably elect socialists or whomever they believe will be their “daddy” / “husband” so to provide them lots of free stuff.
When it comes to the female sex, emotions always override logic and reason. Their brains just can’t get past instant gratification, and avoidance of personal responsibility.
