Terry LaFleur did not make the ballot.

Pat Powers

I just had it confirmed from Kea Warne at the South Dakota Secretary of State’s office that Dr. Terry Lee LaFleur did not make the ballot.

Oh well. So much for steering the narrative.

Update – LaFleur speaks – he says all the signatures were good, but he’s being railroaded by Jackley… Noem… or MAYBE BOTH!:

(Or maybe he simply didn’t do as well as he thinks he did.)

  5. Well if he turned in 2,034, I could’ve told you he wouldn’t make it. No one would, much less a guy with no campaign infrastructure.

        1. she did not have enough because she didn’t turn them in…if she would have had enough she would have turned them in

    2. It’s bad enough for Lora and Terry not to just admit that they fell short. Somehow nothing is ever their fault. Not the sign of a leader.

      But then – they baselessly accuse the Secretary of State’s office of lying. These are longtime professionals. Kea Warne has been in the elections office for years and she is highly respected.

      Lora and Terry should go to circuit court and challenge the SOS if they really think there was a problem. If not – and we all know they won’t – they should just shut up.

      1. Just to put it in perspective

        61% of 2034 is 1240.74

        He needed 1955; or a 96% success rate.

        1. Who’s John? Are you insinuating that she had plenty of signatures, but decided to not turn them in? That does actually sound like a Lora move.

  7. Now with him off it is Noem v Jackley…nobody stealing a % or two here or there by getting first spot…just head to head…no excuses…may the best governor to be win!

  8. Now he is telling people to write in his name to be Governor or the state will turn blue?

    1. 12-20-21.2. Write-in votes not to be counted–Other votes on ballot. If a name is written on a ballot in an attempt to cast a write-in-vote, the write-in vote may not be counted. However, all other votes for which the voter’s intent may be determined shall be counted.

  9. I was seated next to Dr. and Mrs. LaFleur at a LDD. They seemed nice people. I sense both care deeply about America and want to make things better.

    That said, I’m unconvinced that the Republican National Committee engaged in an underhanded conspiracy to keep Dr. LaFleur off the S.D. ballot. Just my .02

  11. A friend of mine, who’s been elected to Office as a Democrat, is the only person I know that he asked to sign his petition. He apparently went down Kemp Ave and asked anybody he saw. I don’t know him, but his methodology clearly was not to seek out only registered Republicans
