Lawsuit[edit]
- April 2, 2018: The Montana Democratic Party filed a lawsuit in Lewis and Clark County District Court claiming that the state Green Party did not collect enough valid signatures to appear on the ballot. The lawsuit argues that Secretary of State Corey Stapleton (R) incorrectly certified 180 signature petitions. The lawsuit is asking for an injunction to remove the party from the June 5 primary. Six Green Party candidates have qualified for the ballot in Montana. Two candidates filed for the U.S. Senate, one for the U.S. House, and three candidates in the state legislature.[6]
