FEATURE Montanans keep PHOTO same-day voter registration Andy Bixler Montana Kaimin

On a night that saw Mon- tana Republicans decisively win both the U.S. House and Senate races, a Republican-led ballot measure to end same- day voter registration failed. The legislative referendum, LR-126, would have ended the ability for people to register to vote as late as Election Day, which has been allowed in Montana since 2006. The Associated Press de- clared the measure failed at about 12:30 a.m., with 77 per- cent of precincts reporting. LR-126 was sponsored by Sen. Alan Olson, a Republican Annisa Keith/Montana Kaimin from Roundup, who said he Keegan Widhalm, a freshman at the University of Montana, completes a ballot at the polls in the University Center on Tuesday.
