- District court judge blocks new Montana GOP bylaws
A Montana district court judge issued a restraining order blocking the Montana Republican Party from implementing new bylaws requiring $20 annual dues, a loyalty oath, and penalties for collaborating with Democrats. The bylaws, challenged by county committees and members, face allegations of enabling 'fraudulent and corrupt practices' under a 2019 state law protecting precinct committee officers.
