Flathead GOP expects to dominate election
How Republicans come out to vote will be what decides statewide elections, according to John Fuller, chairman of the Flathead County Republican Party Central Committee and representative for House District 8.
“If Republicans of the Flathead Valley turn out in large numbers, the fate of all statewide Republicans will be dramatically enhanced,” Fuller said.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the population of Flathead County was around 102,000 in 2018, about one-tenth of the population of Montana. Such a large chunk of the state population means the county could sway an election in tight races.
