The Madison Daily Leader has a story on their website noting that the recently retired Lake County Sheriff Tim Walburg is going to be a candidate for State House in District 8: Walburg has dedicated decades of his life to serving his community. For 30 years, his law enforcement career included service as a correctional […]
The Argus has an article today on members of the Democrat Party criticizing the Minnehaha County Auditor over her recent actions, as she intentionally erodes confidence in how County Auditors conduct elections: “It is inappropriate for the Minnehaha County Auditor to sow distrust in the integrity of state and local elections in concert with private […]
Does the North Dakota Republican Party actually do any vetting when they hire people? Because I just saw an announcement that Ex-SDGOP Finance Dir and ousted Minnehaha County GOP Chair Dave Roetman has now been put in charge of the North Dakota Republican Party: Subject: NDGOP Hires New Executive Director Dear NDGOP Leadership, A new […]
There was a press release from the so-called Freedom Caucus earlier this week that didn’t really seem related to freedom as I’ve heard it defined.

Changes like an audit of every precinct in South Dakota and a state-level push to convince county auditors to hand-count […]
The South Dakota Canvassing group is at it again with pillow-guyesque conspiracy theories, claiming that they have hard evidence of problems with the state’s voter rolls. Except when asked for evidence, the challenges to the group’s assertion are met with a lot of redaction. Which is kind of funny, considering voter date is actually public […]
