And this doesn’t even include the taxpayer dollars that Minnehaha, Lincoln, Pennington and Davison county used to hire more outside attorneys to keep the cast vote records from their citizens! Those cast vote records could prove if the over $3.3 million dollars those 4 counties alone paid ES&S since 2013 actually produced accurate election results! Just think about that! The same people who say the tabulators are accurate won’t release the proof that would prove them correct???

That is because they KNOW they are not.

Our petitions to bring it to a vote of the people in Lawrence County to decide if they would like to count ballots by hand or continue to have the ES&S tabulators count the vote is not illegal. $30K split between Lawrence and McPherson Counties... this doesn't even include the court costs that will probably remain unattainable by citizens since the claim will go against insurance. This lawyer and these commissioners, auditors and states attorneys who are fighting their citizens over TRANSPARENCY in our elections will someday learn and have to live with the error of their ways. It's coming folks...hold the line! - The Spearfish Speakeasy

Total waste of our money, first we have to hire a lawyer at our own expense, then they (commissioners, auditors,,SA) hire a private law firm to fight us so we get to pay twice!!! What are they hiding!!!

I have shared this column with many neighbors and will continue sharing. Kate Crowley Johnson pointed out Lawerence county states attorney Outka’s (one of the highest in the state) salary to me. Per capita has to be the highest, thank you for rounding up all the unlawful expenditures so far. Outrageous, this will not be swept under the rug. Especially with the writ of mandamus denied by Supreme Court. The citizens of Lawerence county have been robbed by the county commissioners of their right to petition and the Supreme Court is attempting to cover up the commissioners crime by simply stating no evidence presented. The evidence presented is also written in South Dakota constitution.
