After MyPillow Cyber Symposium, State Sen. Jim Stalzer part of group wanting to oversee elections

@SoDakCampaigns

South Dakota State Senator Jim Stalzer of Sioux Falls was one of several legislators in attendance at the Mike Lindell’s (the MyPillow Guy) Cyber Symposium. An event which participants thought would put former President Donald Trump Back in office after proving massive election fraud. Instead, the only thing massive was the manner in which it fell flat on its face, after the event’s own expert admitted they couldn’t prove anything.

However, what has come of the ‘cyber symposium’ is that there is a group of State Legislators who attended the event who are expressing that they intend to oversee elections. As noted in the picture tweeted above from Dakota News Now’s Beth Warden, this group includes South Dakota State Senator Jim Stalzer.

Now, I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all to want integrity in our elections. But, I don’t believe the sh*tshow in Sioux Falls was the way to go about it.

In fact, I don’t know of a county auditor in South Dakota who doesn’t want integrity in our elections. And certainly South Dakota’s Secretary of State Steve Barnett is concerned about it as well.

If Senator Stalzer is concerned about election integrity in our state, hopefully he will work directly with those parties who are actually in charge of the elections on how South Dakota can improve our election process.

And no more Cyber Symposiums, please. That was just embarrassing.

  1. The federal government should fund election integrity.

    Boots .. er .. pens on the ground so to speak.

    It hasn’t always been this way .. so corrupt.

    But we’re told to believe this system is omniscient.

    It is not.

    1. If John Dale or Mike Lindell gets his way… we will have legislators deciding the outcomes of elections throughout the country, instead of the current direct vote of the people. All because of bogus election fraud claims.

      This has got to stop. We need to work up some courage before it’s too late and shut this down.

      These people that wave the flag so high and claim to be patriots are also trying to rig our elections. The enemy is inside the gates.

      1. So you are for suppressing free speech and the free exchange of ideas and opinions. How very Fascist of you, elk. People on your side are historically known for cheating to get elected, so don’t act all righteous.

        1. Ridiculous. If I were in favor of denying free speech, I would have said so.

          The Party needs to oppose this or doom American democracy as we know it. If we do this, the liberal states will follow suit and your right to determine elections is gone.

          I am the one favoring the individual’s right to decide. You… want overwhelming Republican legislatures to decide for us.

          And yes, I picked up on your ruse a long time ago. Accuse others of fascism while supporting it with your own actions.

          Definition of fascism: “…far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition” (wikipedia)

          Yes, sir. That would be you.

          1. How is demanding more transparency in elections “rigging” them? How dare people in a free country question the way things run

            1. You might want proof before you start throwing around accusations of fraud. Something Mike Lindell found out this week.

              Transparency? Yea, right.

            2. You want the Republican majority in the legislature to “oversee” the elections? Why on Earth would that be perceived as rigging an election?

              Don’t take us for fools.

                1. We already have a Sec. of State, don’t we?

                  Did you go to that idiot’s symposium? Sounds like you would have fit right in.

                  1. But it’s a Republican Sec of State? Should partisan elected officials oversee elections? No need to go to the symposium. If I wanted to watch it I could of just streamed it, that’s if Google would of let me. I don’t think China hacked the election personally. But if people want to look into and check they are more than welcome. I’m not afraid of what they might find out. Are you?

      2. You all seem to have the fake media conception of what election integrity is all about. Mike Lyndell was trying to show you how the past elections were rigged and how ’22 will also be rigged if some things are not changed. They don’t care how you vote. They just want to see that the way you voted is really the way you wanted to vote. In other words, I would want to be sure my Mark was where I wanted it to be and did not get replaced by someone telling me it should be otherwise. I want my ‘x’ on the spot I choose and not on the spot YOU choose, or someone else chooses. I normally work as a volunteer in these elections but had pneumonia during this last one so was not able to see how things went here, but we are a small community and I still want our votes to be what we wanted them to be. China, Italy, and other outsiders, including fake news should ‘but’ out. Seems like too many of you people went into Mr. Lyndell’s symposium with the wrong expectations. I have seen the proof as have many others but this past week his tech people discovered more attempts to delay the truth. The truth is on Frankspeech.com. Check it out, but with an open mind, not preconceived ideas about what you are going to see. I only wish I could have seen ALL of the symposium too. It was embarrassing to have Mr. Lyndell roughed up and the need for so much security needed for his symposium in such a small community. The embarrassment should be on the part of the media, not on Mr. Lyndell and his people. But if you don’t want to see the point, you won’t.

    2. Still waiting for you to prove election corruption. Your savior Lindell didn’t do it, you still haven’t done it. Nobody has. Put up or shut up, John. Enough.

  2. SD elections are exceptionally well run. A model for the nation. All paper ballots. Voter ID but you can vote by affidavit if you lack one. Easy early voting for a long period of six weeks. No ballot harvesting. No long lines to vote. Practically no evidence or even allegation of fraud.

    Compare that to the crazy train of the Mike Lindell Cyber Symposium. If you attended that and bought into it, you are the last person who should be trusted to oversee elections.

    1. Exactly lets use South Dakota as a model for the nation. No more voting machines. No more mass free for all mail in voting. No more facebook funding elections. No more counting votes for 3 weeks until you come up with a winner. No more stopping in the middle of the vote count and going home for a nap.

  3. “hopefully he will work directly with those parties who are actually in charge of the elections on how South Dakota can improve our election process”

    And keep “We the people” out of it? Spoken like a true establishment liberal.

  4. “the event’s own expert admitted they couldn’t prove anything”

    That person was Joshua Merritt. He enrolled in a training program at the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion, but he never completed the entry-level training course. After flunking out, he became a mechanic. Just because he couldn’t figure it out, doesn’t mean others also did not figure it out.

      1. He is not only an idiot, he went to the media instead of helping the group understand his analyse. Likely the person has an agenda, and is not capable of providing a constructive approach. It was interesting to watch the constructive team effort in exposing Dominion’s apparent wiping of data in the name of doing “updates” in Colorado. The data is required to be kept for 22 months based on federal law. Sadly, that important revelation is being ignored by those who have an agenda and are only interested in doing a hit job on Lindell, including the author of this web site.

        1. Lindell proved himself to be a con man this week. He guaranteed proof of China hack and brought nothing.

          You can’t see that?

          1. You obviously did not watch the symposium if you think he “brought nothing”. The guaranteed proof, or not so, is in the forensic audits, and auditors are not getting the routers, passwords, there appears to be updates to the machines that delete the proof. After watching the entire symposium I would argue that the election fraud is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. We don’t need guaranteed proof.

            Why are so many in Americas protecting Communist China?

  5. Yes, I attended the Cyber Symposium. In case you don’t know, part of my job before retirement was Cybersecurity and I now serve on the NCSL Cybersecurity Task Force. Thus I attended as a skeptic. As I have told anyone who bothered to ask, the data presented has no chain of custody, so must not be accepted at face value. Yes, I believe some states need further investigation. As for SD I learned enough to ask some questions, but I saw no credible evidence that there was any fraud.

    Even the Argus has always had the decency to call before publishing a hit piece. Neither the original reporter nor you bothered to talk to me. The picture used was nothing more than a picture of the legislators who were present on Thursday. As there are several others in the picture who agree with my assessment.
