A bulk of the votes (absentee, mail-in) for Montana are already in due to the size and low population density. Hopefully voters that go to actual polls tomorrow see this and tell Gianforte to gently caress off.

The bodyslamming thing somehow could be the current thread title and I am pretty sure people would just skim by it and think "haw haw like that would ever happen."

It's too bad it's only 1 day before the election and he can't run an ad about the time he put the globalist reporter in his rightful place.

Chilichimp posted:Lol, "reporter alleges", he did in front of a local camera crew. To be fair, pre-conviction all reporting on crime should use that. It's not fair to start calling people guilty before a trial. However in this case there's ya know, a loving tape so...

Yeah the goon upthread who said it suggests this isn't the first person Greg's exploded on is almost certainly right. The instant flip from calm to violence and screaming with no build-up or increasing anger in his voice or anything is pretty scary.

Democrats and diehards vote early; if anything, I'd say early voting would probably have favored Quist more. What this COULD do is drive down Republican turnout tomorrow. Does Montana have laws providing for recall elections? I'd say Gianforte would be vulnerable to one pretty quick.

But the House had to vote to expel him. I have 0 faith in the GOP expelling one of their own these days.

Lying (except in a court setting under oat) isn't a crime, but it might twist the knife further depending on how the dems utilize it between tonight and tomorrow's poll closing.

Even if he gets convicted (he won't), it'll be something like simple battery and Republicans will just say "ah, it's a misdemeanor with a short prison sentence, let him SERVE THE GREAT PEOPLE OF MONTANA REGARDLESS"
