Everyone Knows it's Fraud

Voter, Tax and Insurance Fraud

Back in May, Jack Dura, an AP reporter contacted me for input on an article on the hand count initiative. I spent way too much time explaining in great detail the election issues in South Dakota, the lack of transparency, the gaslighting, and the reasons the People want to hand count their elections again. After much back and forth, I was very disappointed that only one of my quotes was used, in what ended up to be, yet another hit piece on “conspiracy theorists” with no proof. https://apnews.com/article/south-dakota-voting-machines-ballots-hand-counting-b8b101e68e121c9ab6150659809db522

I told Jack I was not happy that he only used one quote! He told me he had much more, but his editor stripped it out. Hmmm. So much for fair reporting.

Ironically, the same Jack Dura wrote an article on the voter registration issue in South Dakota found below. It’s interesting that evidence of fraud was allowed to be published in this one.

All you have to do to become a South Dakota resident is spend one night.

Stay in a campground or hotel and then stop by one of the businesses that specialize in helping people become South Dakotans, and they’ll help you do the paperwork to gain residency in a state with no income tax and relatively cheap vehicle registration.

The system brings in extra government revenue through vehicle fees and offers refuge to full-time travelers who wouldn’t otherwise have a permanent address or a place to vote.

And that’s the problem. State leaders are at a stalemate between those who say people who don’t really live in South Dakota shouldn’t be allowed to vote in local elections and those who say efforts to impose a longer residency requirement for voting violate the principle that everyone gets to vote.

And at least one state has gotten wind that its residents might be avoiding high income taxes with easy South Dakota residency and is investigating.

What’s that? EVADING INCOME TAXES? You don’t say??

Officials of the South Dakota Secretary of State's Office did not respond to emailed questions or a phone message seeking the state's tally of full-time travelers registered to vote. The office is not responsible for enforcing residency requirements, Division of Elections Director Rachel Soulek said.

Take note of Rachel’s quote. We’ll come back to that in our next article.

Residency becomes thorny around voting. Some opponents don’t want people who don’t physically live in South Dakota to vote in its elections.

“I don’t want to deny somebody their right to vote, but to think that they can vote in a school board election or a legislative election or a county election when they’re not part of the community, I’m troubled by that,” said Democratic Rep. Linda Duba, who cited 10,000 people or roughly 40% of her Sioux Falls constituents being essentially mailbox residents. She likes to knock on doors and meet people but said she is unable to do “relationship politics” with travelers.

Even Democrat Rep. Linda Duba is troubled by having 10,000 fake residents in her district that don’t live at Your Best Address or Dakota Post. Those 10,000 voters swore under penalty of perjury that they met the requirements of the state to vote, including actually living at and having no present intention of leaving their address.

More than 1,600 miles (2,500 kilometers) east, Connecticut State Comptroller Sean Scanlon has asked prosecutors to look into whether some state employees who live in Connecticut may have skirted their tax obligations by claiming to be residents of South Dakota.

Connecticut has a graduated income tax rate of 3.0% to 6.99%. Connecticut cities and towns also impose a property tax on vehicles. South Dakota has none.

Scanlon and his office, which administers state employee retiree benefits, learned from a Hartford Courant columnist in September that some state retirees might be using South Dakota’s mail-forwarding services for nefarious reasons.

Asked if there are concerns about other Connecticut taxpayers who are not state retirees possibly misusing South Dakota’s lenient residency laws, the Department of Revenue Services would only say the agency is “aware of the situation and we’re working with our partners to resolve it.”

If you’ve ever been to one of our presentations, you have heard me say this, but I’ll say it again. In my job as an accountant and tax preparer, I always had clients who claimed to be South Dakota residents for income tax purposes that were actually residents of Missouri, or South Carolina for instance. I knew they wanted to avoid paying state income tax, but couldn’t figure out why they actually thought they were a resident. They worked, slept, ate, lived and got their mail somewhere else. Fast forward to today. Now it makes sense.

About ten years ago, we went on a vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The majority of the vehicles there were licensed to South Dakota. I couldn’t figure that out either, until now.

Now it seems other states may finally be catching on.

Connecticut State Comptroller Sean Scanlon has asked prosecutors to look into whether some state employees who live in Connecticut may have skirted their tax obligations by claiming to be residents of South Dakota.

Fair warning to all you fake South Dakota residents using a one day camping receipt to claim your fake tax status, good luck to you when your state Department of Revenue finds you. The Attorney General, Secretary of State, County Sheriff’s and everyone else in cahoots and running cover for the revenue generating scam might be OK with letting you commit perjury on your voter registration form, but I guarantee the Department of Revenue in your home state won’t be as forgiving. And the new DOJ and FBI in Trump’s administration may have a different perspective on this statewide fictitious voter registration scheme with intent to mislead election officials, amongst many other crimes.

Dakota Fake News Now posted the AP article partially on their webpage and posted it to Facebook. The comments on Facebook were overwhelmingly against the one day “resident”, in particular, allowing them to vote in our elections. Seems the general public is also aware of the possibility of voter, tax and insurance fraud.

We are the only outlet to have reported the fact that State Farm Insurance has sent out notices to their PMB clients that they are discontinuing their coverage because they fail to provide a physical address in South Dakota.

Do we STILL want to claim the GOLD STANDARD? Come on people.

We have laws, they are being broken, and the law enforcement agencies and election offices are covering for them.

Our next post will be a detailed explanation of exactly how the fake residents of South Dakota, and most likely fraudulent ballots, stole two seats from two conservative candidates for House in 2024.

Are you upset yet?

CALL, TEXT OR EMAIL your county commissioners, auditor, and state’s attorney and ask them to enforce the law. They need to READ AND UNDERSTAND NVRA and UOCAVA. Then they need to READ AND UNDERSTAND SDCL 12-1 and 12-4, and immediately STOP processing unverified voters.

Then they need to read this:

52 USC §20511. Criminal penalties

A person, including an election official, who in any election for Federal office-

(2) knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by-

(A) the procurement or submission of voter registration applications that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held; or

(B) the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held,

shall be fined in accordance with title 18 (which fines shall be paid into the general fund of the Treasury, miscellaneous receipts (pursuant to section 3302 of title 31), notwithstanding any other law), or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.

52 USC §10307. Prohibited acts

(c) False information in registering or voting; penalties

Whoever knowingly or willfully gives false information as to his name, address or period of residence in the voting district for the purpose of establishing his eligibility to register or vote, or conspires with another individual for the purpose of encouraging his false registration to vote or illegal voting, or pays or offers to pay or accepts payment either for registration to vote or for voting shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both

Someday, when justice and the rule of law is restored, a lot of people will be going to jail for brazenly selling out the sanctity of the vote for revenue.

Until then, it’s up to us to hold the line.
