On the evening of Monday, September 19, Mike Fellows was killed in a car crash. He had been returning from a candidate’s forum. He is the Montana Libertarian Party’s nominee for U.S. House. He was also the most active leader of that party. Whenever there was a legislative hearing on a bill affecting ballot access, he was there. He was also the chief candidate-recruiter for the party, and a very good source for election law news from Montana for me.
The Montana election law does allow the Libertarian Party to replace him on the ballot, but it must do that within five days. The overseas absentee ballots have not been mailed yet and can be reprinted.

Also, according to this story in the Great Falls Tribune, a replacement nominee for the U.S. House seat Fellows was seeking has been selected. He is Rick Breckenridge of Proctor, MT.
Very sorry to hear about Mike Fellows’ passing. He was an incredible libertarian activist and great guy. Condolences to his family.
Sorry to hear of the passing of Mike Fellows. He was a truly dedicated and determined Libertarian Party member and candidate.
Sorry to hear the bad news. I spoke with Mr. Fellows just one time, trying to track down a Montana Libertarian who had spent some time down here in the keys. He was helpful in getting me in touch with him.
Thoughts and prayers this evening.
