“Supreme Court rejects GOP proposal to elect regional justices”: Sam Wilson of The Helena (Mont.) Independent Record has an article that begins, “The Montana Supreme Court on Friday upheld a district court ruling that struck down an attempt by Republicans in the Legislature to change the way the high court’s justices are elected.”

And Shaylee Ragar of Montana Public Radio reports that “State Supreme Court rules against electing justices by district.”

You can access today’s 5-to-2 ruling of the Supreme Court of Montana at this link.

In reaction to the ruling, the Montana Department of Justice issued a news release titled “Montana Supreme Court Votes To Protect Their Own Jobs, Deprive Montanans Of Right To Decide Election Methods.”
