      >Republican and Democratic political leaders in Cascade County allege that two candidates running as Democrats are not really Democrats, but Republicans trying to “game” the upcoming election for the Montana Legislature.

      >The two candidates, James Whitaker and Mark Winters, publicly identified themselves as Republicans in the past but, in interviews with Montana Free Press, denied allegations this week that they are trying to bamboozle Democratic voters.

      Have they considered running and independent with the same name as their opponent to dilute the vote? Worked in Florida.

      Watch out for them ‘Fetterman’ posers like Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema. It’s become a dangerous Republican tactic.

      Given Republicans‘ penchant for cheating this wouldn’t be surprising.

      >*He supports Republican President Donald Trump*

      Yeah … doesn’t sound like much of a Democrat to me, especially since he was an active Republican Party precinct committee man at the time he filed for the Democratic position.

      Hoax? Such weak ass language. Call it what it is, election fraud.

      As a non-American, the open primary system is insane. It’s how Trump bullied and scammed his way into office, with no history as a Republican and no experience as a politician. He parlayed TV celebrity into an electoral dominance that allowed him to purge the Republican Party and turn its administration into a front for his crime gang.

      As I understand, the US Constitution is designed to limit the influence of demagogues. Yet the primary system, liberalised in more innocent times, is shown by Trump to be an easy back door to despotic power.

      Crazy my state made national news but ya…we’re already overrun with carpetbagger’s. Real life ones.

      This is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WOULD DO. So, ya, I believe it 100%.

      A Democrat is not someone who supports Trump. Obviously playing games.

      This is why we need citizen led recalls. Which I know will also be abused by bad actors, but that can be tomorrow’s problem. 

      We have a deep problem with bad actors in politics. In local elections especially, you see a lot of candidates falsely representing themselves, and there isn’t much information easily accessible. 

      I live in a deep blue state. Last election there were several candidates that claimed to be democrats, but if you looked into them, they were definitely MAGA nutters. But if you’re only reading the pamphlet, you’re never going to know.

      It’s happening in Colorado too. Someone running in Bobo’s district is listed as a D and has voted trump three times.

      I used to live in Great Falls. My dad’s side of the family has been there for 4 generations. The people of Great Falls are some of the nicest people on earth. The politicians are somehow just scum.

      Welcome to the Trump Era. No low is too low for Republicans. They just want to “win” so they can reap the rewards in the form of bribes. Well done GOP.

      Theres two candidates in California who are the exact same. One of them donated to Laura Loomer or something like that

      Considering they don’t even do Faith in good faith, I shouldn’t be surprised they don’t do anything else in good faith either.

      I have been saying this forever. Democrats should run as Republicans in red states or counties. There is no laws stopping them. Stop pretending taking the high road works.

      I wish this was surprising. The most insane MAGA conspiracies I’ve ever seen are things by my SIL posts. She’s lived her entire life in Great Falls, and this is the kind of thing she would wholly support.

      Kind of sad, though. It used to be a place with strong support for labor unions and industry, and people who were polite enough not to conspire to disenfranchise their neighbors.

      We already had a Republican in Texas (Katherine Culbert) do this during this current election cycle.
