Deep in Trump country, a revolt against corporate money could reshape political spending

Montana voters will decide Initiative 194 in November — a bid to bar corporations and other “artificial persons” from spending on elections as a way to sidestep the Citizens United ruling.
The measure draws unusual bipartisan, populist support in a state with a long history of distrusting big-money influence, tapping into nationwide anger over “dark money.”
If approved, it could spur similar efforts in 30+ states and a likely legal showdown that might ultimately reach the Supreme Court.
