As we have seen with previous special elections this year, the bulk of the GOP vote comes in on Election Day.

What's interesting is that I read other political forums and it hasn't even reached their yet. Weird.

The thing is that the more R-friendly counties have turned out at a higher rate than the more D-friendly counties. So if anything, Quist has more room to grow.

If Gianforte wins he'll have to resign within days, then we get ANOTHER Special Election.

Sounds good to me, I'm ready for it!

I'm a bit skeptical about this. What kind of candidate in a potentially close election assaults a reporter the day before the election?

Questions Continue to Swell: No Record That Rob Quist Registered for Selective Service Says National Archives

This is probably the last oppo dump on Quist - and likely too late to have any effect anyway.

FYI - The national archives found Quist's selective service registration this afternoon.  The Free Beacon has updated their story to reflect this.

GF may not be dead (MT is surely a special place and we are in the final inning) but this is despicable.

Wish we had video, but the audio is pretty damning.

How much of the vote has already been mailed in? Can they rescind their mail-in ballots by voting tomorrow in-person?

Yeah, Jacobs is a moron and Gianforte should have ignored him. This was stupid.
