Gov. Brian Schweitzer's interference with the voting process

Jon Tester was illegally elected in 2008. Governor Brian Schweitzer used the threat of arrest at reservations among other things to get him elected…and then bragged about it:

Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer's speech to the annual trial lawyers' convention in Philadelphia on July 14, 2008, in which Schweitzer boasted (to the cheers of the trial lawyers) of his misuse of official powers to interfere with the voting and vote-counting process to tip the 2006 Montana election for a U.S. Senate seat to his favored candidate, Jon Tester (listen at 10:30 to 12:00 about the plan Schweitzer carried out to use threats of false arrest to force Republican poll watchers to abandon their posts, and at 12:45 to 14:30 about Schweitzer's directive to the clerk of Silver Bow County to delay the release of vote counts for many hours so as to give Tester a tactical advantage in resisting a recount)
