Do we really want every citizen to have the right to challenge every other citizen’s right to vote? Why? The whole purpose is supposedly to prevent non-citizen voting which is already against the law. According to our Secretary of State she found 273 people registered to vote that couldn’t legally vote. How many of those folks voted in 2024? Zero. Seems like we don’t need additional legislation on this topic.
It’s no doubt a great thing to campaign on, (election integrity!! pounds chest) but it doesn’t add anything and furthermore, when we begin to eye each other with suspicion because you don’t speak the same language I do or your skin color is different than mine or your gender is different and I can just anonymously challenge your right to vote, we’ve taken a dangerous step toward the destruction of community.
This is nonsense - a prove you're legitimate law with no basis in fact. Predictably MAGArats will run through precincts leaning democratic or independent and challenge every voter. This will clog Auditor work loads, cost taxpayers, and foul election delivery. Amend this nonsense requiring the complainer file a notarized affidavit and be subject to a $100,000 civil fine for false reporting if wrong. Are SD legislators this removed from imagination and reality?
A solution in search of a problem. What a joke.
Ah yes. Once again solving non-existent problems and trying to out private information. Doesn't Pischke ever have anything better to do?

Yes. 100% they are.
