The detailed reporting and diligence is exemplary - will be there for our children to learn from. This is how you defend what is true and just while holding accountable those who have failed their duties.
The people who obtain SD residency using a mail forwarding company are doing it legally. The mail forwarders are NOT Post Office Boxes. Mail forwarders are affiliated with the US Post Office as Commercial Mail Receiving Agencies (CMRAs) and follow strict guidelines. The idea that people using mail forwarding services are out to “commit voting fraud” is unsubstantiated and defamatory.
I'm not sure what the residency rules are for SD (if you need to reside in SD for a number of days per year) but if you aren't a legal resident of SD then you are voting illegally. Also, if your residence isn't the same as the forwarding address, you need to vote in the precinct of your residence and not of the forwarding company.
The people who use mail forwarding companies are only residents of South Dakota if they spend the required amount of time physically in the state prior to an election to legally cast a ballot as a resident of the political entity, either state, county, city or precinct that they vote in. If it isn't that way, that is the way those who brought South Dakota into statehood intended it to be. If you don't physically reside in the state for the amount of time you must to legally register to vote, you should have to vote where you were last legally registered.
