Charles S. Johnson reports in the Billings Gazette:
"In the speech, Schweitzer said he took steps on Election Day to help Democrat Jon Tester unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns.
Hall said Schweitzer boasted in the speech that 'he designed a plan to threaten poll watchers on Indian reservations, personally applied pressure to the elections officer in Butte/Silver Bow while the votes were being tabulated and manipulated the media for purposes of diminishing a call for a recount.'
Schweitzer apologized Wednesday for these remarks in his speech to the American Association for Justice and denied interfering in the election.
'I was just joking around and making it colorful,' Schweitzer said. 'I can now see it was offensive to some people, and I’m deeply sorry if I offended anyone.'"
