A Federal Appeals Court Rejected an Emergency Request by Montana Republicans to Halt the Automatically Mailing of Absentee Ballots to All Registered Voters in the State.
As Many States have Expanded Vote-by-Mail, Polls show a Partisan Gap for the First Time, with Republicans much less Confident in Absentee Ballots than Democrats.
The San Francisco-based Appeals Court, on Tuesday Oct 6th., Denied the Request to Stay Pending Appeal a Sept. 30th Order allowing the Mailing to Troceed.
In that Ruling, U.S. District Judge, Dana L. Christensen in Helena, Montana, Rejected as “fiction” Claims by Republicans that Mail-in-Voting will Lead to Widespread Ballot Fraud.
Republican-Leaning Montana, the U.S. Senate Race between Term-Limited Democratic Governor, Steve Bullock, and Republican Incumbent Steve Daines, is a Close One and could help Determine which Party Controls the Senate next year.
Trump and the Republican National Committee have used Allegations of Voter Fraud to try to Block similar Plans for Mailing Ballots or Applications in several States, including Nevada, where a Judge Dismissed the Campaign’s Suit due to a Lack of Fraud Evidence.
The Claim is part of a Broader Effort led by Trump to Cast Doubt on the Security of Mail-in-Ballots.
