The 2006 election of Jon Tester and the comments Brian Schweitzer made to the trial attorneys in July bring about bad feelings. Will the 2008 elections be fraught with democrat voter fraud?
I believe it will.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE FACTS…
1. In 2007 a Lawsuit regarding voter fraud was filed in federal court, but later withdrawn.
2. Steve Bullock was the attorney that defended Big Horn County against the voter fraud charges. Page 8 of complaint
3. Mike McGrath was the attorney defending the State of Montana against the voter fraud charges. Yet the candidate for the Chief of the Supreme Court (Mike McGrath) said that the Governor is just joking and would not follow up for fear that there was truth to his “joking”.
4. Brian Schweitzer and Jon Tester went to the AAJ Convention (trial attorney’s convention in Seattle).
5. Carol Juneau intimidates voters in Browning by electioneering at the polling place and passing out voter cards for all Indians, then offering them a free dinner at the Browning school where her husband is the superintendent – don’t forget the Democrat van and loud speaker system that was telling people how to vote, and you had better vote democrat.
6. Big Horn county not locking up ballot boxes. (This was defended by Bullock – running for Attorney General)
“On November 11, 2006 Plaintiff Kortlander called Defendant Johnson, Secretary of State, and informed the Secretary that there were unlocked ballot boxes at precincts 5 and 7 located within the exterior of boundaries of the Crow Indian Reservation, and that Plaintiff Coddens, a non-tribal poll watcher was ordered by enrolled Crow tribal members serving as Big Horn County election judges to leave the precinct before the processing of the ballots was completed.” Page 8 of complaint
7. Poll watcher was removed just like Brian Schweitzer said. Page 8 of complaint
8. “Prior to Election Day, the government of the Crow Tribe issued multiple tribal identification cards to both herself and others, with separate cards in both their Crow and American names”. Page 8 of complaint
9. “Although the federally-funded government of the Crow Tribe endorsed a slate of tribal candidates for non-tribal offices and expended sums in excess of applicable limits, Defendants have not required the Tribe to register as a political action committee or report its expenditures. – The Tribe violated Montanas campaign laws”. Page 7 of complaint
10. The Crow tribe governs by fear, almost forcing their members to vote illegally. e-mail from Political Practices.
11. Just more info from Browning regarding intimidation, fear and hatred of those that are not Native Americans.
There will be more information coming, and there is a lot to do. Is this what our country is coming to? Brian Schweitzer thinks this is funny, Mike McGrath refuses to look into the comments “he’s just joking” and then you have Steve Bullock- he’s defending it.
And, finally the silence from Jon Tester is just defining. Senator Tester, Montana challenges you to stand up and investigate this type of voter fraud!!!!!!!!!!

stealing the 2000 election for bush is not enough for you right wing extremists. now you think that your slimy buddy conrad burns could have won the election in 2006? don’t be absurd. montana turned it’s back on conrad and his abramoff scandal ties, just like the dirty tricks now being perpetrated by your party in challenging voters will boomerang back as epic losses for the republican party in november. count on it.

I was in Browning for the 2006 election and recieved one of Carol Juneau’s “Green Cards”. The voters were told who to vote for, and interestingly enough, the choices at the local level appear to be made based solely by race. If the candidate wasn’t native American, no endorsement. One of the most watched items on the ballot was an attempt to have county commissioners elected by district rather than the present system where they are elected on an at-large vote. It was felt that election by district would perhaps allow the voters of Cut Bank to retain a commissioner of their choosing, rather than one that met Mrs. Juneau’s litmus test. As was reported in the local newspaper, Mrs. Juneau actively campaigned against this ballot measure because “it’s just an attempt by those white people in Cut Bank trying to insure themselves a commissioner”. Those “white people” are actually about 1/3 native American.The ballot measure went down in defeat with nearly all voters in Cut Bank voting for the measure and nearly all the voters on the reservation voting against it. The same measure was also voted on in Blaine County, with Great Falls Tribune endorsement. In that case the minority in question was native American, not caucasion. We recieved no endorsement.
We were also voting on the commisioner for the Cut Bank district during this election. The democrat, supported by Mrs. Juneau’s machine, won the election but could not garner a majority in his own nominating district. He did however meet Mrs. Juneau’s litmus test. It was told to me unwittingly by Mrs. Juneau, that she recieved a substantial amount of money from outside the county for “get out the vote” efforts. Why would anyone care about a county election in Browning, MT if you didn’t live in Glacier County? Perhaps these might have been the “dials that were turned”. Another aspect to the 2006 election concerned poll watchers in Browning. When they questioned election officials about the “Green Cards”, the loadspeakers, and the proximity of this activity to the polls themselves, the poll watchers suffered a constant barrage of racial insults and then finally ordered away from the polls. More “dials turned”?
Didn’t read about this in the GF Tribune or the Missoulian? They wouldn’t want to tarnish the reputations of Mr. Testor or Mr. Schweitzer. What you will read about is how bus loads of early Obama voters will descend upon the courthouse in Cut Bank to cast their ballots. As the song says, “Happy days are here to again….”.
