Voters are handily approving a buffet of ballot measures, with 60 percent of precincts were partially reporting as of press time. Many measures stemming from issues Montana's Republican-dominated 2011 legislature chose to send to voters for approval or denial.Voters are approving of Legislative Referendum 120, 198,420-90,607.
