Montana tribes and two nonprofits are suing the Secretary of State over two bills they say unconstitutionally infringe on Native Americansâ ability to vote in Montana.
The bills being challenged are House Bill 176 and part of House Bill 530, which would respectively end late voter registration on Election Day and put restrictions on ballot collections, a popular tool for Get Out the Vote efforts. Both bills have been signed into law.
