Voters Triumph over SD Secretary of State

Looks like Whopper and Whopper Jr. were handed their asses, again;

Sioux Falls, SD (May 21, 2012) – South Dakota Democratic Party Chairman Ben Nesselhuf released the following statement after a judge reinstated district 8 democratic state senate candidate Charlie Johnson, who was unwarrantedly rejected from the 2012 general election ballot by Secretary of State Jason Gant.

“The will of the voters has triumphed over the whims of the Secretary of State. Judge Barnett agreed that elections should be decided by the voters in district 8 rather than the bureaucrats in Pierre. District 8 voters now have a real choice for state senate this year, and we all look forward to a strong election.”
Judge Barnett of the Sixth Circuit ruled in favor of reinstating state senate candidate Charlie Johnson to the 2012 general election ballot. Charlie Johnson’s petitions were rejected by the Secretary of State’s office as a result of a clerical error made in the Lake County Auditor’s office. The South Dakota Democratic Party sued the Secretary of State to reinstate Johnson.
