Cascade County Clerk and Recorder stripped of election duties

Election duties have been removed from Cascade County Clerk and Recorder Sandra Merchant after months of errors in recent county-run elections, at least two related lawsuits filed, and a federal election looming in 2024. After hearing from nearly 100 residents from both sides for almost seven hours, Cascade County Commissioners voted 2-1 Tuesday to move election duties under the commission’s purview. Merchant will continue overseeing other Clerk and Recorder duties, like surveying, and the commission will hire an elections administrator. Nicole Girten, Daily Montanan.
