MT-AL: Rob Quist (D) vs. Greg Gianforte (R) vs. Mark Wicks (L), May 25

[Matty]

With the details regarding Jacobs condition and Gianforte being arrested, I retract my previous statement and my endorsement of Gianforte. This is a despicable, sinful, and unignorable incident. I endorse Libertarian Candidate Mark Wicks for this election.

You are reading fake tweets, bro. Jacobs is not in critical condition and there is no arrest warrant.

There are literally witnesses and photos.

there are no photos of jacobs in critical condition, not being able to breathe.

No one cares.

[Shilly]

The average Republican will probably cheer this, unfortunately. They are becoming increasingly authoritarian.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Jacobs himself says there was a local TV crew at the scene, and The Guardian has audio of the incident.

Gianforte is done.

Again, stop being a frickin partisan hack. This was a horrible thing

Here we go.....


this board has way too much hate in its heart for half the country. Remind me again which party does better with people that have been arrested in their past?

[GlobeSoc]

This could actually give Wicks a chance to break 5% with ED voters.

[IceAgeComing]

i need to see the bodyslam before I know exactly what to think about this

[ApatheticAustrian]

even if this is going to be a major story, it's too late.

what % of registered voters have already voted?

[The_Doctor]

Given the Republican base's anger at the media why would this really doom Gianaforte? It might turn out a few Democrats but its not necessarily a game changer (though it should be and is despicable).

Realistically it won't affect things, not with all the VBM in and most people won't remember by day after tomorrow.

[Chief Justice Keef]

It's going to be on the radio when voters drive to the polls tomorrow.

I think most everyone has voted.

[Tintrlvr]

Waiting for this to actually show up here or other similar Montana news sources.

Too late regardless unless Quist was very, very close already. Most of the votes are already cast. If this really blows up it could force Gianforte not to take the seat and cause another special election, I suppose.

nate cohn said today that around 75% of people have NOT voted yet. IDK if that is accurate

[MT Treasurer]

Wow, people on PredictIt are saying Quist will win in a landslide now. I don't buy it, and I don't think this will have the impact the forum thinks it will. We'll see, though.

[The Other Castro]

I take a short nap and miss everything. This is ridiculous.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Even if two-thirds of ballots are already cast, that's still probably Lean D. All this does is give Quist an election-day advantage, something that's been lacking for Dems in other special elections.

If Gianforte wins he'll have to resign within days, then we get ANOTHER Special Election.

[TheSaint250]

If Gianforte wins he'll have to resign within days, then we get ANOTHER Special Election.

I don't wanna do this all over again...

[Chief Justice Keef]

[MT Treasurer]

If Gianforte wins he'll have to resign within days, then we get ANOTHER Special Election.

Sounds good to me, I'm ready for it!

[Matty]

What's interesting is that I read other political forums and it hasn't even reached their yet. Weird.

[Devout Centrist]

CNN is reporting that Gianforte bodyslammed a reporter.
