Time to start looking up every white-ass right-wing voter in the state that has a second home or spends early November out of state this year and challenge their registration 91 days before the 2028 election.

So they added pvp to voting

Republican Gov. Larry Rhoden signed legislation into law last week that authorizes challenges by individuals and election officials.

It would be a terrible shame if a bunch of people started challenging Larry's citizenship.

Not being from the US, I was flabbergasted when I learned how voting laws are working there. Where I live we're all automatically registered by the government. They send a card with your name and your address. If there is an error, or if people don't get a card, they can manually register or correct the error. And we all stay registered unless we move or there is an error. That's it.

I'm in my mid life and had to register once in my 20ies because I moved a lot. Otherwise the government just automatically registers me. Nobody can challenge that except the election's office. They decide who meets the requirements to vote or not. Not some random conservative asshole that thinks people are not white enough. Democracy in the US seems like a joke.

So when they receive a complaint about every non-Republican voter, are they going to say that there is a 2 year backlog on paperwork, so these people will have to skip this election?

Nope, that is not democracy

South Dakota? Home of Kristi Noem? UNBELIEVABLE!!!

I fucking hate my country now

Probably the most not-the-onion headline I've ever read. My brain keeps trying to illustrate it as comedy to explain it to myself in my mind.

My brain's conclusion?

Jesus fucking Christ, I'm so tired.

She's a witch!

“How could this go wrong?” Said absolutely no one.

Soooo...every reservation gonna challenge every South Dakotane citizenship?

God I hope so.

Conservatives clearly hate our Constitution. So why don't they secede? Seems like something they'd be into. They even whine about it from time to time.

The answer is because their failing red states require our blue states to exist.

This is an abusive relationship and it's high time we end it. We do not need them. They need us.

How else are you going to legally bully and intimidate voters?

Good now challenge citizenship of all white ppl

Oh, that could be fun. After voting, myself, I'd form a line of like minded folks to pick out likely MAGAS and challenge each multiple times.

gonna be shocked when all the people challenged aren't white while all the people challenging are.

State law already allows challenges to a voter’s registration up to the 90th day before an election, if a person is suspected of lacking South Dakota residency, voting in another state or being registered to vote in another state. The new law adds citizenship as a justification for a challenge.

Challenges may be filed by the South Dakota Secretary of State’s Office, the auditor in the county where the voter is registered, or a voter in the same county. The challenge must be in the form of a signed, sworn statement and must include what the law describes as “documented evidence.”

So the "challenge" this already exists but citizenship is being added as another reason. I wonder what the requirements for evidence are or if some county officials will call the sworn statement itself "documented evidence."

There's a New South Dakota?

Reunite the Dakotas!

So are there any pro-boner lawyers looking to challenge as many white people as they can?
