蒙大拿州禁公司政治献金提案通过后遭起诉，言论自由研究所选举日提告
蒙大拿州刘易斯与克拉克县海伦娜市11月6日披露，蒙大拿州选民11月3日以约65%支持率通过的第194号提案“蒙大拿计划”已在选举日当天遭到法律挑战。总部位于华盛顿的非营利组织言论自由研究所提起诉讼，认为该提案违反联邦最高法院2010年“联合公民”案的裁决。第194号提案规定，只有个人可以在蒙大拿州选举中花钱，企业、行业协会、工会和非营利组织不得出资影响选举，违者可能丧失州政府授予的公司特权。该提案将于2027年1月1日生效，州议会须将其编入法律，但共和党控制的州议会仍可修订或废除。提案发起方透明选举倡议组织表示，若议会动手，将在2028年把议题交回选民表决。蒙大拿州商会会长托德·奥黑尔则表示反对该提案，认为其限制了企业的正当发声。

Montana's Corporate Spending Ban Challenged in Court on Election Day
Montana disclosed on November 6 that Initiative 194, the 'Montana Plan' approved by voters on November 3 with about 65% support, was challenged in court on Election Day itself. The Institute for Free Speech, a Washington-based nonprofit, filed suit arguing the measure conflicts with the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling.
Initiative 194 provides that only individuals may spend money in Montana elections; corporations, trade associations, unions and nonprofits may not spend to influence elections, and violators could lose state-granted corporate privileges. The measure takes effect on January 1, 2027, and must be codified by the legislature, though the Republican-controlled legislature could still amend or repeal it. The sponsoring Transparent Election Initiative said that if lawmakers act, it will return the question to voters in 2028. Montana Chamber of Commerce president Todd O'Hair opposed the measure, saying it restricts businesses' legitimate voice.
