LIVINGSTON – Despite a turn to snowy weather on Nov. 6, long lines of people turned out to the polls, waiting to cast their vote in the general election. As of EBS press time at 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 7, of the nearly 80,000 people registered to vote in Gallatin County, 47,349 votes had been counted, while state totals indicated that the incumbents, Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte, were heading back to Washington.
At EBS press time, 474,845 ballots had been counted state-wide, amounting to approximately 67 percent of Montana registered voters, while 118 precincts in the state still had not reported full vote tallies.
Initial results were delayed in Gallatin County due to unexpectedly long lines. A traffic accident in Gallatin Canyon the night of the election also delayed counting ballots from West Yellowstone, which were driven to Bozeman after the polls closed.
“It’s been out the door and up the block the entire day. It started at 7 o’clock and it’s been that way the whole day. A lot more of late registrations than we ever expected,” Gallatin County Election Administrator Charlotte Mills told Montana Public Radio at 9:45 p.m. on
election night.
“It’s really tough when you have, when everybody in the office has already been here for 13, 14 hours and we have to put in another 30,” she added.
Preliminary results indicate that Montana voted down ballot initiative 185 to raise tobacco taxes in order to fund an expansion of Medicaid. Voters also denied I-186, which would have added restrictions for the development of new hardrock mines.
Voters did pass legislative referendum 129, prohibiting individuals from collecting ballots unless they are elected officials, postal service workers, caregivers, family members, household members, or individuals known by the voter.
The request to renew the 6-mill levy for the Montana University System, LR-128, also received support from voters.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
