The Republican Secretary of State Brad Johnson asked for an investigation, but the Democrat Attorney General Mike McGrath has refused. The story has gone national…
From the New York Times:
But Republicans in Montana were not amused, including Secretary of State Brad Johnson, who asked the state attorney general to investigate the matter.
Attorney General Mike McGrath, a Democrat, declined the request, but he and Mr. Johnson both took the opportunity to play smack a mole, with Mr. Schweitzer as the mole.
“Any question at all about the integrity of our election officials and workers cannot go unanswered,” Mr. Johnson said in forwarding a citizen’s complaint lodged by a columnist and Republican political activist in Bozeman, Tamara Hall, who found the speech on the Internet and wrote about it.
Mr. McGrath said there was “no allegation supported by fact,” to justify an investigation, only the lame words of “a speaker trying to be funny.”
