Montana Republicans appear to be pulling one of the oldest tricks in the book to keep Democrats away from the polls this November.

The state party is challenging the eligibility of 6000 registered voters -- or almost one percent of registered voters in the state -- claiming that these voters are registered under incorrect addresses, reports the Missoulian. And many of the counties in which the challenges are occurring represent pockets of Democratic strength in the largely red state.

The state GOP appears to have gone to some lengths to actively identify these voters. It obtained a commercial software system used by direct marketers that contains a nationwide list of people who have changed their addresses. ............
