 PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley urges citizens to support a peaceful transition of power after Tuesday’s Presidential Election.  

Attorney General Jackley is part of a bi-partisan group of 51 Attorneys General who are encouraging calm after the election. The peaceful transition of power is part the nation’s democratic system.

“This election has been divisive, and our Nation’s Attorneys General are urging that any election issues be resolved legally and in an orderly means without violence or property damage,” said Attorney General Jackley.

Other Attorneys General calling for a non-violence response are from: Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virgin Islands, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

The Attorneys General statement can be found below:

“Regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s election, we expect that Americans will respond peacefully and we condemn any acts of violence related to the results. A peaceful transfer of power is the highest testament to the rule of law, a tradition that stands at the heart of our nation’s stability. As Attorneys General, we affirm our commitment to protect our communities and uphold the democratic principles we serve.

We call upon every American to vote, participate in civil discourse and, above all, respect the integrity of the democratic process. Let us come together after this election not divided by outcomes but united in our shared commitment to the rule of law and safety of all Americans. Violence has no place in the democratic process; we will exercise our authority to enforce the law against any illegal acts that threaten it.”

The postcards are hitting all over the state, and there’s more of them finding their way to my inbox. So, here’s another selection for your review!

District 5’s Glen Vilhauer is on track to be the next State Senator from Watertown as he brings things home with a positive final message:

Ballot measures are pushing hard to the last minute as well:

I personally received this card from the Protect South Dakota’s Ag Future ballot question committee. Which, they didn’t have to. They already had my vote.

The SDGOP took a hit against Indy Karen McNeal and her wackadoodle agenda in this Halloween themed card that hit last week, urging people to vote Republican (and not McNeal) on November 5th:

Pac N Heat brought the thunder in a couple of races starting with the District 18 Senate race, pointing out Lauren Nelson’s agenda includes stripping funds away from underfunded schools to put towards private academies:

Ouch. If you thought that hit was hard, check out what they had to say in the District 15 House Race when it comes to “Bad Brad Lindwurm”:

I’m not sure that Bad Brad Lindwurm should expect anything else, since all three protection orders are public record.

Bringing it back home on a more positive note is State Senator Helene Duhamel’s latest mailer noting her family’s history of serving Rapid City for generations:

Just remember that tomorrow evening everything campaign related will be at an end.

At least for 2024.  🙂

From Facebook:

Remember when things made sense?

This was the ad that put John Thune over the top. Where he’s been ever since!

Pn Amendment E, the bill proposed to fix the language in the state constitution regarding recognizing that women are elected to office too (Which they’ve been truing to fix since 1889 or so).. this popped up on facebook a few days back, where State Representative Brandei Schaefbauer was declaring her terror over the Constitution being gender neutralized!:

Heavens to Betsy! We’d better start clutching those pearls! Brandei Schefbauer is all of a sudden in fear over about gender neutralizing our State Constitution – as if it’s going to go in the same bathroom as her!  (I imagine her yelling “Get out of here Constitution! I’m trying to powder my nose!”)

I’m not sure where she suddenly developed her Constitutional gender-phobia from, since it wasn’t a problem when she was one of the votes in favor of it back in 2023:

How did Brandei’s “Yes” vote get through?  She must have been confused by everyone voting yes before her.  Keep in mind when you go to the voting booth tomorrow – Brandei Schaefbauer thinks you should vote No because Women are being recognized as able to hold office all over “we the country.”  And we’d better stop that!

*sigh*

Is the election over yet? I just want to stop the stupid, even for just a moment.

From Facebook:

It would not sound like everyone believes Minnehaha County Leah Anderson will do the job that she’s supposed to as the US Attorney has announced that the Department of Justice will be monitoring how elections are being conducted in Minnehaha County tomorrow night:

The press release does not say why the four counties were chosen for monitoring. There is a history of voting rights litigation in tribal areas, some of which helped redefine state legislative districts that a federal judge ruled had diluted the representation of Native Americans.

and..

In the June primary, 132 ballots from one Minnehaha County precinct were successfully challenged – at least initially – by an activist named Jessica Pollema, who claimed the ballots were fraudulent because the voters listed P.O. boxes for their address. The state Supreme Court later sided with the Minnehaha County state’s attorney and the Secretary of State’s Office, denying a request to invalidate the votes.

Read the entire story here.

When are the voters of that county going to wisen up and get her out of there?

It might not be anything Monae did, but when you hold the throne, you’re also held responsible.
