2024 MT Governor's race: on Government Reform

Ryan Busse: Arrogant for trying to withhold public records

A judge found that the Gianforte administration did not have the right to withhold these documents and that the Montana Constitution's protection of the right to know was made specifically for "precisely this type of government document."

Greg Gianforte: No same-day voter registration; yes voter ID

Voting Rules: Make voting harder or easier?
• Ryan Busse (D): Easier. "We will make it easier for people to vote" and "do everything we can to increase the franchise, not reduce" it. "It's not right to have armed people scaring voters at polling places."
• Greg Gianforte (R): Harder. In 2021 signed bills ending same-day voter registration and creating new photo ID requirements. In 2024 the Montana Supreme Court ruled the laws unconstitutional.
