36. Article II, Section 6 of Montana's Constitution protects the right to "peaceably assemble" and "petition for redress," which has been read to incorporate the freedom of association, as has been done with its federal counterpart. See Dorn,203 Mont. at 14H5,661 P.2d at 430 (Article II, Section 6 and 7, Montana Constitution are the state counterpart to the First Amendment); see also Valley Christian Sch. v. Mont. High School Assoc.,2004 MT 41, 320 Mont. 81, 86 P.3d 554; Matter of C.H. (1984),210 Mont. 184, 683 P.2d 931. of 37. Freedom association protects the ability of organizations, like Organizational Plaintiffs, to associate with members, organizers, volunteers, and Native American communities in furtherance of a political belief. 38. Plaintiff CSKT and Plaintiff Fort Belknap also have the right to associate with their members and Organizational Plaintiffs' organizers in furtherance of the same political belief. 39. Organizational Plaintiffs', Plaintiff CSKT's, and Plaintiff Fort Belknap's rights and ability as organizations, and for their individual members, to organize and to encourage, the Native American vote nre not hampered by the ballot collection limitations imposed by BIPA. 40. BIPA leaves unaffected most of the get-out-the-vote efforts described by Plaintiffs, including poll watching, providing rides to the polls, canvassing neighborhoods, providing information on voter rights, monitoring policy that impacts voting access, and educating and engaging with voters through media buys, public events, and text messages.
