Stop U.S. SB 1

Please email our Senators and ask them to oppose S. 1 because it gives the federal government too much authority over our local, state and national elections in ways inconsistent with Montana values and the U.S. Constitution. (https://www.tester.senate.gov/contact/; https://www.daines.senate.gov/connect/). The Senate Rules and Administrative Committee was set to hold hearings on S. 1 ( H.R.1) on May 11.

Under this bill, massive amounts of elections-related power would be transferred from the states to the federal government, such as:

• Require ballots be counted outside of the voter’s precinct. This removes the integrity of the local government to verify voter rolls and oversee elections and gives the power to count votes entirely to the federal government.
