The head of the Montana Republican Party “has come out against a mail ballot bill for a special election to replace a seat expected to vacated by Montana’s lone congressman, saying they give Democrats an inherent advantage,” the Great Falls Tribune reports.
Rep. Jeff Essmann (R) said Democrats would have an “inherent advantage due to their ability to organize large numbers of unpaid college students and members of public employee unions to gather ballots by going door to door.”
Montana state Rep. David Moore (R) “is seeking to strengthen the state’s indecent exposure law, stopping just short of his wish to outlaw yoga pants,” the Billings Gazette reports.
“The proposal would expand indecent exposure law to include any nipple exposure, including men’s, and any garment that ‘gives the appearance or simulates’ a person’s buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple… Moore said he wouldn’t have a problem with people being arrested for wearing provocative clothing but that he’d trust law enforcement officials to use their discretion.”
