The South Dakota House State Affairs Committee hears SB 69 on Friday, March 6, at 7:45 a.m. The hearing is in room 414. The bill injures ballot access three ways: (1) it makes it more difficult for a member of a small qualified party to get on his or her party’s primary ballot; (2) it won’t let members of qualified parties sign for an independent candidate; (3) it moves the petition deadline for newly-qualifying parties from March to February.

Same old story. They hate 3rd parties and Independents. When they are openly honest, they will tell you, either your become a Democrat or Republican, or you stay home and shut up!
