Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

WE CHALLENGED AND SUCCEEDED IN INVALIDATING SENATE BILL 319, A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE PROHIBITED VOTER REGISTRATION ACTIVITIES IN RESIDENTIAL, ATHLETIC, AND DINING FACILITIES ON PUBLIC UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES IN MONTANA AND WOULD HAVE IMPOSED STRINGENT JUDICIAL RECUSAL PROVISIONS WITHOUT PROPER NOTICE. THE COURT AGREED THAT THE LAW VIOLATED THE MONTANA CONSTITUTION'S SINGLE SUBJECT PROVISION, AND THE STATE HAS DECIDED NOT TO PURSUE AN APPEAL OF THAT RULING. AS A RESULT, THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS OF THAT LAW ARE PERMANENTLY ENJOINED.


WE CHALLENGED THE APPORTIONMENT OF MONTANA'S PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION DISTRICTS FOR VIOLATING THE ONE PERSON ONE VOTE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION. IN MARCH, A THREE-JUDGE PANEL RULED THAT THE DISTRICTS WERE MALAPPORTIONED AND ORDERED THE MONTANA SECRETARY OF STATE TO USE A MAP THAT MORE EQUALLY REPRESENTS MONTANA VOTERS. THE STATE HAS ALSO DECIDED NOT TO APPEAL THAT RULING.
