HELENA — The 67th Montana Legislature has been marked by a series of bills attempting to change the elections process in Montana. Some of them, like House Bill 455, didn’t even make it out of committee. That bill, sponsored by Rep. Lola Sheldon-Galloway, R-Great Falls, would have made absentee voting much more difficult. During its only hearing, Rep. Geraldine Custer, R-Forsyth, said the bill was unworkable. “This is probably the worst bill I’ve seen all session,” Custer said, “and it needs to die.” However, a cluster of other bills is still moving through the legislative process, including House Bills 176, which would do away with same-day voter registration, 506, which would change how ballots from new voters are processed and 530, which would force the Secretary of State to conduct election security assessments..
