At least one Minnehaha County Commissioner is calling out County Auditor Leah Anderson for her circus-like approach to elected office, as Minnehaha County Commissioner Joe Kippley calls out Anderson as “embarassing.”
A Minnehaha County commissioner criticized county Auditor Leah Anderson Tuesday, calling her behavior an embarrassment to the county.
Commissioner Joe Kippley was reacting to Anderson’s request two weeks ago for a pay increase amid news that Anderson allowed her supporters to secretly sit in on a phone call with staff from the Secretary of State’s Office and officials with Election Systems & Software, the company that is the vendor for the software used in vote tabulating machines.
and..
Kippley accused Anderson of stoking conspiracy theories about election integrity and “burning down” the institution from within. He said that other local election officials have “grave concerns” about next year’s elections given her performance in office.

Commissioners have the power of the purse, and should make sure they exercise it when it comes to Anderson’s antics…
My wife and I, with ZERO BUDGET, created a Survey Cast Vote Record System (SCVR) in 48 hours.

With a fraction of ES&S’s budget, we could create a voting system for the entire state and we would be glad to teach the inner workings of the system to all county officials and the public. Most of the state wide production costs would be for hosting, security, and administration. Before you get too excited, this is running on a commodity cloud server. The entire code base is about 250KB (that’s quite miniaturized for Enterprise Java and relatively trivial for conducting a comprehensive software code security review).
“It” is an embarrassment that we can’t produce the audit trail even though it is federal law and specified in the contracts with the vendor.
If there is no corruption, why so difficult to manufacture legitimate public trust?
Why are SD administrators so technologically inept? Is it because, unlike the maturity exhibited by the Minnehaha auditor, they are too proud to admit their deficiencies and seek self improvement?
Are we too reliant on technology from out of state and out of country (as I understand it the lineage of ES&S software code is Dominion and Venezuela)?
I’m surprised Kippley didn’t put forward a resolution to REDUCE Leah’s salary. I suspect it would’ve passed!
If this auditor has the high ground, imagine the level of corruption exhibited in this post.
Narrator: “She doesn’t.”
But does she? Everything she is asking for is reasonable. Never let the facts get in the way of a good rumor. IT dudes are running the election. Auditors should craft and maintain the process. Computers are broken.

That would be a helluva signal to send to the crazies. I hope he does it.
The reason is because he’s about to lose the public’s trust completely.
Mr. Dale…why don’t you meet with SOS Johnson and offer the State your audit system?? I’m sure they are looking for a solution to this imaginary problem.
Bad idea. I don’t know exactly how, but such a meeting would end with the arrival of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! So true!!!
Float like a butterfly.
Why are you against election integrity?
Why are you an election integrity denier?
Hi Terry;
You’ll notice that it’s not an election/voting system, but rather a conditioned exist survey system that would feed into a legal process to produce affidavits that can run on the most robust military/banking grade servers or a raspberry pi. If a group of voters gets jobbed, they can use this software to prove it.
Nothing needs to change within the county Auditors offices in SD.
*Anons pucker*
Sincerely,
John
tldr; Minnehaha County Election Officials want to do their jobs (end-to-end quality assurance of election process), threatened to have their wages cut as a result.
At 53:00 in this video, you’ll learn a lot.
The entire video is good if you have the time.
When a company’s product is not being provided in a way that benefits its customers (ultimately the people of SD), their revenues will be threatened from doing bad business. When revenues are threatened, the people working for the company will feel threatened. But this is not the spirit and intent of the law, to protect revenues under threat from doing bad business.

ES&S is doing a terrible business at the behest of some people in South Dakota for reasons that seem obvious.
^ in my humble opinion.
