HELENA, Mont. — Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen released the following statement to the media regarding Wednesday’s court decision:

Wednesday’s decision defies Montana’s common-sense approach to running our elections. It’s impossible to undo the steps that have already been taken to implement these legislative changes, including direct voter communication, education, and outreach. I am disappointed the judge has sided with the beliefs from out-of-state attorneys funded with millions of dollars from the liberal machine, and I will immediately appeal the decision because Montana’s election integrity laws are under attack.
