Gerrymandering in Montana
For years, we Montanans liked to think of “gerrymandering” as one of those imported political diseases—something that happened in faraway, untrustworthy states with names like “Illinois” or “California,” where maps are drawn by political cartographers who believe in geometry the way Picasso believed in accurate faces. But here’s the bad news: you don’t have to…

Why Are Republicans Censoring Election Integrity Efforts?
I recently attended a program hosted by the Montana Election Integrity Project and learned some rather disturbing facts. This group has been shinning the light on Montana election irregularities for more than 20 years. One of the group’s supporters tried to pass out fliers announcing this meeting to the Missoula Pachyderms Club and was refused. In addition,…
Replacing a Montana Senator
The resignation of Republican State Senator Terry Gauthier (SD-40, Helena) revealed systemic issues in the replacement process that should be addressed by the State Legislature and Montana GOP. At the end of November, I was officially notified that one of Montana’s state senators submitted his resignation halfway through his four-year term. The process to replace…
Aftermath of the Red Trickle, 2022
This report was originally published in Poor Roger’s Almanac on November 9th, 2022. Like many other people, I was expecting at least a wave which was discernible. Heck, I even predicted that ten months ago. “The 2022 mid-term elections will result in the Democrats being decimated and the Republicans securely ensconced as the majority party…
Complaint Filed Against DC-based Dark Money Tipping the Scales in Gallatin County
The office of Clerk and Recorder in Gallatin County has been occupied by a Democrat who was elected to office four years ago. The Republican challenger this election cycle, Marla Davis, has a long career as a physical therapist and has served as a dedicated event coordinator for the Gallatin County Republicans. Davis has ran…
Bukacek Questioning Green Energy Sources is Not “Anti-Green”
Considering the cost to build, maintain, and dispose of wind turbines, calling wind power renewable because we have wind is equivalent to saying automobiles are renewable because we have roads. It just does not add up.
Montana Democrats Abortion Privacy Defense Falls Flat After COVID Authoritarianism
After two years of Montana Democrats gleefully and vigorously advocating for the forced-masking and forced-vaccination of their fellow Montanans, their sudden defense of “health privacy” in service of codifying abortion into Montana law through judicial activism exposes not only their hypocrisy, but their ignorance. Prominent Montana Democrats including former elected Democrats and Democrat-aligned non-profits have…
The Lesser of Two Evils is Still Evil
Ryan Zinke’s congressional candidacy has once again shone a spotlight on a concept I like to call “Einstein’s definition of political insanity”: the action of voting for the lesser of two evils, repeatedly (simply because “he’s a Republican!”), and thinking that, magically, the candidate will morph into a principled politician. Someone who instead looks out…

Montana Media’s #HatchetGirls
Mainstream Montana journalists are growing harder and harder to distinguish from the rapid response communications teams of the Montana Democratic Party and the Democratic Party nationally. Self-described “journalists” Ashley Nerbovig and Skylar Rispens are the official #HatchetGirls of the Montana establishment media. Why is it that these alleged reporters cannot seem to quote conservatives without…
Republican’s “Big Tent”: A Flawed Philosophy
People claiming to be “conservative” like to champion the value of Reagan’s concept of the “Big Tent”, welcoming everyone into the party to win the vote. Let’s examine this “value” by looking through history since value can only be established by grading results. The concept of a “big tent” gave us our first president to…
