Leaders of a recall effort targeting Gov. Doug Burgum and Lt. Gov. Brent Sanford appear to have come up short.
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem got an emphatic victory when the Senate removed Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg from office by convicting him of impeachment for killing a pedestrian with his car. Noem pressed impeachment through the Republican-controlled Legislature. She provided crucial support on an effort that at times faced razor-thin vote margins. Though her aggressive approach riled some lawmakers, Ravnsborg’s ouster provides Noem with some key benefits. She can name his replacement, discredit a one-time adversary who had investigated her and claim political independence because she held a fellow Republican accountable.

South Dakota Republican Party officials are warding off a spam attack prior to the group’s convention later this month. Party officials have been forced to remove hundreds of fake names of participants after spammers accessed the party’s online registration page. The hackers also maxed out the 28 spots that had been reserved for media credentials, forcing the party to close down press registrations. In order to deter the activity, the party is forcing people to pay $1 to register, which will reimbursed to delegates when they go to the convention. GOP Chairman Dan Lederman says the party can’t charge money because it would constitute an illegal “poll tax.” The convention is June 23-25.
