(86,647 posts)At the county registrar's office, they had early voting booths available and there was, I was told, a steady flow of voters coming in. I had to look for parking for a minute or two, which is unusual for small city in Montana.

(3,396 posts)we are full-time rv'ers & just spent 9 weeks in western Montana this summer.
Started in Ennis, worked our way northwest all the way to Troy.
Western Montana is spectacular but we enjoy the smaller towns like Libby, Ennis, Polson, Bozeman, Livingston & others that size.
I was just curious hoping you'd be in one of our favorites.

(86,647 posts)One of those is the county seat for my county so you have at least come that close. I'm about 30+ miles from that place which is the nearest place to go grocery shopping. And Bozeman isn't a small city for Montana, compared to other states it is a smaller city but here it's a major city.

(3,396 posts)I agree about Bozeman, but we were there last year (before covid) & it is a beautiful, hopping college town. I really liked Bozeman.
I was comparing size to SLC, Phoenix, Denver, LA, Seattle, etc, so to me it's a small town.
I'll respect your desire for privacy & won't even attempt to narrow your area down. Know we love that whole area, & we support Bullock for senate.

(86,647 posts)I went to a drive-in rally recently that had almost all the Dem candidates attending. I even got to say a few words to Bullock while I was there. We do have a lot going for us as a low population state with a lot of land. It's more a purple state and it could get bluer this time around. Bullock is showing that he's pulling ahead in the final stretch, I hope he wins, Daines is about the worst thing to happen to our state with the exception of Gianforte the body slammer. The two were business partners, I am sure they are partners in governmental crimes as well.

(86,647 posts)I am thankful for all help... we have a lot of public assets here, protecting them is a busy occupation. I would love to see this state have two good Dem Senators at the same time. It would be a very good thing for the environment and us as a bonus.

Its very possible that Biden could have 50 million votes before Election Day.

(14,565 posts)I don't like abnormal variables so the Democratic reliance on mail ballots has made me nervous. But early numbers are very promising and particularly in Georgia, where only 97 of 500,263 mail ballots have been rejected. That's 1 in every 5157. Seems amazingly low, given prior standards and current North Carolina, which is 1.0%, with 5334 rejected out of 511,280
