MT: Record Number of Candidates for State Legislature

From the Great Falls Tribune:

Whatever the cause, a record number of Montanans — 320 of them — have filed for election to Montana's Legislature. Whatever the reason, such a level of interest cannot be a bad thing.They'll be vying for 126 seats — 26 four-year terms in the Senate and all 100 two-year terms in the House . . . In the 2009 Legislature, the House was divided 50-50 and Republicans controlled the Senate by a narrow 27-23 margin.
