According to an e-mail sent out by my local Republican County group, Secretary of State candidate Heather Baxter will be in Brookings on Friday to meet & greet. And I’m sure as a candidate, she’ll also answer questions about her campaign and platform at the Bible Baptist Church from 9-11 AM.

I have to work for a living, so no. I can’t be there. I work on insurance claims, and there is probably less mayhem dealing with dog bite claims, falling tree limbs and exploding propane tanks.
But you can certainly go and ask her if Rick Weible will be her Director of Elections if she wins? Or if she’s going to persist on the hand-counting thing, despite what county auditors want? I’m sure members of the public and media could find other questions to ask her as well.
It’s not a GOP only thing, and is open to the public.

Hand counting is the best way. For thousands of years, humans have been proving themselves as infallible, honest and trustworthy.
By all means. Let’s replace audited tabulation systems with Karen, Dave, and Steve after six hours in a folding chair and two pots of church basement coffee
And get the results 6 weeks after the election and ballot switching during the nights.

Yeah right trust hand counters. So at the precinct you have all Heather supporters they could cheat by saying Heather when really it was for another candidate. Let’s be real this group of people will be cheating and unless they get caught all the crazies will make office. She will say that she will leave it up to the Auditors but clearly she is a huge supporter as she went TWICE and spoke on hand counting in Pennington. She is a joke and this might be the first time I will vote for her Democrat. He has spoke many times he is against hand counting.
