Handy New Tool for the 2024 Elections in Montana

A while back, one of our radio listeners told me that I needed to listen to an interview that Glenn Beck did with the CEO of an outfit called "Million Voices." Fast forward to a few days ago, and Greg Franks told me I needed to get his friend John Graves on the show.

Turns out John Graves is the CEO of Million Voices and has spent a lot of time here in Montana over the years. This guy KNOWS data and how important data can be in getting out the vote in elections.

Graves joined me to announce the launch of a new candidate fact sheet focused on Montana. All you gotta do is text the letters MT (for Montana) to the number 80550. You will then receive that candidate fact sheet and can easily share it with your friends.

How influential could something like this be?

Let's say 5,000 Montanans read this story and download the candidate fact sheet, here's what John Graves said could happen. "If they just send it to 10 of their friends, that's 50,000 votes. That's the margin Steve Daines won his Senate race in in 2020 by and many of the Senate races have been closer than that historically."

John Graves: "For the last 40 years, only 60% of the people show up to vote in a presidential election. It's smaller in an off year...in 2022, 20 million people who voted in 2020 on the conservative side didn't show back up. And I did the analysis in Montana to find out how many people did that in Montana. Do you want to know what the number was? 98,521. 98,521 people who voted in 2020 for the more conservative candidate did not show back up in 2022."
