“ Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer bragged to a convention of trial lawyers to have rigged the 2006 Montana’s elections in favor of the Democrat Party. g Schweitzer, speaking at the American Association for Justice annual convention in Philadelphia on July 14, told a room full of convention-goers that he helped “turn some dials” to get fellow Democrat Jon Tester elected to the U.S. Senate. In his speech, Schweitzer claimed he played a role in removing GOP poll watchers from Montana’s Indian reservations; that he influenced the timing of the release of election results in Butte-Silver Bow County; and that he pressured the Associated Press to call the race for Tester on Nov. 8. {Stuck on Stupid) ” Tester beat Republican incumbent Conrad Burns by just 3, 128 votes in the closest Senate election of 2006 in terms of absolute vote difference.  Tester's win gave Democrats control of the Senate, and made Harry Reid Senate Majority Leader.  This race was a BIG DEAL.
