Elections

The confusion of musical precints returns

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.

Okay, so I gave in; Predictions

I couldn’t resist to make some predictions over on Madville this morning, so I thought I would share. I still think Weiland can pull this off, stranger things have happened. A late poll worker in Shannon County didn’t help matters (wonder WHO paid that poll worker off to show up an hour late and disenfranchise voters for an hour . . . hmmm)?

Just a reminder, if you are planning to vote for 3rd place Pressler as a protest vote to Rounds or Weiland, you do have another option, LEAVE IT BLANK, that would be the ultimate protest vote. Voting for Pressler only helps Rounds.

There is one positive about this election, that Bozo Jason Gant will never be in charge of a statewide election again, of course, he will probably be replaced by another bozo, I digress.

No Endorsements or Predictions

I’m not going to make any predictions in the election a week now. Many of the races have probably already been decided, and it seems our public is more ignorant then ever when it comes to the deep corruption of the SD GOP. EB-5 and the governor’s past scandals as governor should have been enough to put him dead last in the polls. Apparently voters are willing to look away from that because of their fear of an Obama loving Democrat. If Rounds wins, we will have total partisan leadership in Washington, that is unfortunate. There is also the possibility of Rounds being indicted on EB-5 after the election.

I won’t tell you how to vote next Tuesday, but I am recommending you vote for these two gentlemen next Tuesday;

John Pekas for Judge (He currently is a Minnehaha County Commissioner)

Tony Bartholomaus for Minnehaha County Auditor
