FWIW, I think Montana is already over-saturated with advertising in the Tester/Sheehy race. Like it's probably 50% of the snail mail in my mailbox every day for the past 3 or 4 months, and I can't watch any YouTube videos or play a mobile app game without seeing *multiple* ads for and against these two candidates. It's way beyond annoying. I suspect Montana advertising in the Senate race has passed the point of diminishing returns.

There's a fair amount of physical mail advertising for the two state Supreme Court races, too. But very little advertising for anything else, even though we've got lots of statewide races and legislative districts on the ballot, and some important ballot initiatives (changing the structure of primary elections, and adding abortion provisions to the constitution).

Anecdotally, it feels like people are less enthusiastic in general about the election, with way less than the normal number of yard signs, for instance.

I do live in Missoula, which is by far the most liberal urban area of Montana.
