Activists fail to convince South Dakota Board of Elections to move toward hand-counting

The state Board of Elections did not approve petitions Wednesday from activists who want to move the state toward hand-counting ballots. A Republican state Senate candidate, Rick Weible, of Elkton, petitioned the board for declaratory rulings. The petitions asked the board to take several actions, including deeming certain election tabulating software non-compliant with state law and de-certifying its use. The board did not grant the requests. Board member Scott McGregor said afterward that Weible and his supporters routinely attend board meetings to pursue their agenda.
