Kudos to Montana Supreme Court for Defending Democracy.

- Abstract
The Montana Supreme Court recently overturned four laws passed by the Republican-dominated 2021 legislature, which were deemed unconstitutional. These laws, signed by Republican Governor Greg Gianforte and defended by Republican Attorney General Austin Knudsen, were intended to protect election integrity but instead restricted voting rights. The laws targeted same-day voter registration, ballot collection, mail-in ballots for young voters, and the use of university-issued identification at polling places. The court's ruling is seen as a win for democracy and voting rights, while critics argue that these laws were based on baseless claims of election fraud.
