Montana House District 57 race to undergo recount

The race for a seat in the newly formed Montana House District 57 between Democrat Scott Rosenzweig and Republican Rep. Marty Malone is headed for a recount. Rosenzweig currently leads Malone by 20 votes, prompting Malone to raise funds for a recount despite the slim margin. The new district encompasses parts of rural Park County and Bozeman, with Malone expressing disappointment in the redistricting that mixed rural and urban voters. Rosenzweig, a first-time candidate, remains confident in the numbers and is already focusing on preparing for his role in the Legislature. The recount will take place in Park County first, followed by Gallatin County in early December. Both candidates are committed to the process, with Malone hopeful of finding the additional votes needed to secure the seat. The outcome of the recount will determine who will represent District 57, balancing the needs of rural and urban constituents.
