Voter apathy driving South Dakota’s anti-business faction to power, governor says
Rhoden finds support for Operation: Prairie Thunder in first Sioux Falls town hall since declaring candidacy
A small but vocal minority of activists are pushing an anti-economic development agenda in South Dakota, Gov. Larry Rhoden said Thursday, and they are succeeding because of voter apathy.
“They are very anti-economic development, so they get a lot of attention,” Rhoden said.
Some of them have ended up in the state Legislature, in part because of low voter turnout in Republican primaries, the governor said.
