From theHelena Independent Record
<http://helenair.com/news/local/state-and-regional/campaign-nonexistent-for-referendum-ending-election-day-voter-registration-/article_56a5519c-199b-5614-a499-67feb7488fa7.html>:
Progressive groups are putting money and shoe leather into defeating
a Republican-sponsored ballot measure that would end Election Day
voter-registration in Montana.
Yet the campaign for the measure, known as Legislative Referendum
126, is pretty much nonexistent.
A group called the Montana Equality Project, formed in February to
support LR-126, hasn't reported raising or spending a single cent
for a campaign.
