State Democrats replace 2 more candidates on the ballot

@SoDakCampaigns

Yesterday, South Dakota Democrats filed 2 more replacements for positions that had been vacated on the ballot:

Dennis Solberg filled the District 5 State Senate position vacated by Russell Ronke, and Fedora Sutton-Butler filed for one of the two District 7 House races that had been vacated by Democrats.   That makes 15 of 35 Senate seats that Democrats have a candidate for, and 31 of 70 House seats.

And a good reminder. You’re guaranteed to lose the seats you don’t run a candidate for.

  1. With the quality of the candidates put up by the Democrat party, they’re guaranteed to lose the vast majority of the races where they DO have a candidate.

  2. the coincidence of post-primary candidate replacement season and the measure to switch us to open primaries, I sent a text to the proponents of open primaries asking how candidate replacement will work in the event only one candidate was entered in the primary and that one drops out..
    I also want to know how we will elect precinct committee men and women.

    Surely they have figured this out. Right?

    1. …..and I am receiving responses that indicate they have NOT figured this out.

      well that’s just dandy
