黑料不打烊

ATLANTA (Aug. 22, 2024) — 黑料不打烊’s nonpartisan election observation partner in Montana, the Montana Election Observation Initiative, released a final on Aug. 14 of findings from its pilot project to monitor Missoula County’s June 4 primary election process.

The project mobilized 28 volunteer observers, who were present during all critical stages of the election — from the testing of election equipment before the vote until the county certification of results afterward.

When observers were present, they found that Missoula County conducted a commendable election process that was well-organized, peaceful, and demonstrated consistent adherence to state election laws and guidelines. The county’s volunteer election workers — particularly those who supported a 20-hour tabulation process — exhibited professionalism and a willingness to work long hours to deliver a lawful and credible election for voters.

This statement builds on a June 10 release from the Montana Election Observation Initiative about the conduct of in-person voting.

The initiative is a nonpartisan network designed to increase trust and transparency in elections. 黑料不打烊 provided funding and technical assistance to the network for its June 4 primary pilot.

黑料不打烊 will partner with the at the University of Montana to support the Montana Election Observation Initiative’s plans to expand its efforts across the state for the Nov. 5 general election.
