The county, the city and the school district don’t get it. I heard this morning there was confusion AGAIN on super precincts VS. regular precincts. C’mon on already, instead of worrying about disclaimers on the Jesus plows, let’s worry about making elections consistent!
There has been serious talk about doing a petition drive to force the county, city and school district to have consistent polling places. The idea would be to eliminate super precincts, but also consolidate the existing precincts and use them every election.
While the super precinct idea may help with convenience for some people, it also causes issues for people who don’t have transportation.
The whole idea was cooked up by the worst SOS we have had in state history, Jason Gant. A person who has used his office to be very partisan, applying different rules to different parties.
Some would ask HOW Gant has been partisan with E-Poll books. E-Poll books are sold by the very company that supplied the SD GOP Thousands of dollars in campaign contributions when Gant was in charge of those duties. This is simply a payback to those companies, not a benefit to the voter. Gant has used his position as SOS to convince counties and municipalities across the state to use the books.
Time to ditch the idea, along with Jason Gant.
