Analysis Summary
Montana is pursuing an innovative ballot measure that would prohibit corporations from making political donations by redefining what powers the state grants in corporate charters—potentially sidestepping the Citizens United ruling without needing a constitutional amendment or Supreme Court reversal. Reich released videos on April 19 calling it a "very unlikely state leading the way" with a "first-of-its-kind plan" that would "effectively neuter Citizens United." The plan has significant legal hurdles ahead and faces court challenges over procedural requirements, but an October 2025 poll found that 74 percent of Montana voters, including majorities of Republicans and independents, support the ballot initiative.
Claims Analysis (2)
“Montana has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United”
A bipartisan team of former Montana officials have unveiled a legal mechanism for undoing Citizens United by paring back corporate powers.
“No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed”
The plan would remove political spending power from Montana corporations and out-of-state corporations operating in Montana, but Montana's attorney general disqualified it for the ballot, and the Montana Supreme Court held it violated state requirements, though legal scholars debate its viability.
