Competition is a good thing in both football and elections. Vote YES on H! top two open primaries for South Dakota.
Independent voters in South Dakota should switch their registrations to Republican if they want a voice in electing our next Governor. The Republican primary is usually the only election that matters.
A recent poll suggests an interesting 2026 governor's contest between Marty Jackley, Dusty Johnson and Larry Rhoden. Sadly, only those who vote in the June Republican primary will get to decide who our next governor will be. Historically, that's a small % of registered voters.
South Dakota is a one-party state. Only 9 of 105 SD legislators are non-Republicans. The Democrat party is irrelevant in the state. #southdakota

Read post-election reflections from @JoeKirby31
"Under the closed primary system, politicians must appease party leaders, often following directives to avoid being “primaried” by party loyalists in the next cycle. New or competitive ideas are unwelcome if they disrupt the status quo, with party interests frequently taking precedence over democratic values like fairness and transparency."

We regret that voters chose to not address some fundamental problems in South Dakota’s government. Open primaries would have improved low voter turnout in the primary elections, empowered 155,000 independent South Dakota voters to fully participate in the primaries, brought competition to our elections and motivated politicians to address the concerns of all voters, not just their party bosses.

SD is a state where 80% of the seats are uncontested. This has to change! Yes on H!

141,000 people have already voted early in the SD general election. Only 100,000 total voted in the June primary.
Time to open our primaries and let all voters vote. Vote YES on H!
