Going the limit on primary reform in Montana
The Montana Nineteenth Assembly rejected a bill to abolish the primary in favor of a convention system. A senate defeat suggests the measure may die if it reached the house, with public sentiment possibly pushing the legislature to end the primary system after further costs and limited benefits. Iowa’s system, including a 25 percent threshold and a 35 percent rule, is cited as a model and a point of contention amid Brookhart influence and reform debates.
