From the Dakota Scout, Minnehaha County Commissioner Joe Kippley took County Auditor Leah Anderson to the woodshed for sowing distrust in her own elections. And making claims of CIA interference didn’t help her case any:
Kippley, who has been a frequent critic of Anderson and her distrust of the accuracy of electronic vote tabulators, asked her if she had regrets for sowing distrust about the 2020 election results.
“I feel completely vindicated calling that half-baked,” he said.
Headline from goofy internet show Auditor was interviewing with
After issuing the June press release, Anderson went on to do online interviews with people who then said that she couldn’t rule out CIA interference in Minnehaha County’s 2020 election results, Kippley said. He called the people spreading those theories “useful idiots,” a term Soviet-era communists used for people who unknowingly spread Marxist propaganda.
“You have no credibility, and I, as one commissioner, ask you to resign,” he said.
and..
At the end of the meeting, Kippley took another shot at Anderson, saying she had burned her credibility and predicting she would generate lawsuits against the county. He called on the commission to create a contingency fund to defend potential litigation.
“Basically, this auditor is a walking lawsuit,” he said.
It’s this kind of thing which makes me believe our democracy is in for a bumpy ride over the next few years, as we try to navigate ourselves past the paranoia and conspiracies.

Whack-a-doddle
in my search for a debate watch party I checked out the facebook pages of some of the local political groups.
It appears the Siouxland Republican Women are totally in bed with these loons, promoting events with Rick Weibel.
Let’s get the guy who started these lies back in office. That’ll fix it!
Richard Nixon is dead and Al Gore isn’t running.
Neither is Hillary Clinton, who insisted Trump was an “illegitimate president.”
Ladies and Gentlemen our “True Conservatives” Project Chaos is going according to plan.
One of Leah’s crazy friends told the commissioners to stop watching the mainstream news….as it was filled with “fake news”. I wonder how they feel about Trump now saying he lost the election in 2020?
False, he never said that, and if he did, he didn’t mean it, therefore, it is fake news.
How the hell was this person elected…wow my brain hurts listening to her speak
She is a prime example of why we should vote yes on Amendment H.
I don’t think H will change anything.
You will end up with two R’s running and a D. The two fringes will get through the primary.
It will be like Peterson vs vs Brown vs Staggers vs Huether.
Staggers and Huether make the run off and those are your choices.
Shoot Huether might make a run off with H.
Minnehaha’s mayoral race is a good example.
I think Tenhaken wins the governor race if H passes.
doubtful.
Yup…there is a loose cannon careening across the deck of the Ship of State. No doubt about it.
Being part of the Unhinged look to see her as one of the featured speakers at the Dakota First PAC Rally.
Let’s just hope she sharing all her ‘wisdom’ and not kicking off her 2026 SOS campaign
Before you know it she’ll be the next republican presidential candidate…
“Stop The Steal” documentary has been advertised on HBO lately. Any chance the Unhinged Election deniers will watch it? Will it make a difference to them so they can stop their destructive behavior? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYiPxpSBhRo
They’ll watch it but fume that it’s a deep-state ploy to hide the truth. Denialists are people that would’ve fallen for any other cult in history, that is to say they are a combination of impressionable, desperate, and recalcitrant.
The belief despite evidence is what brings them together. There is no way they will let that go. For many of them, the community is all the relationships they have left.
