He's kidding, right?
According to Kate Turnbow over at the Capitol Journal today, there's at least someone left over from election night who can't take a hint:
So, not only is he saying he's bringing his style of paranoid goofiness back in two years, he's also alleging fraud in... oh, every single voting precinct in the State of South Dakota.
But what would you expect from someone who believes that 9/11 was a government plot?
So, in 2008 prepare yourself for more of the same. Ugh.
Bill Stegmeier is not giving up.Read all of the craziness here.
Stegmeier, the orginator of Amendment E, said despite a resounding defeat at the polls Tuesday, that this is only the beginning for judicial accountability.
Amendment E, the ballot initiative aimed at bringing more accountability to judges, was voted down by 89 percent of South Dakotans.
But before bringing any more ballot proposals to the people of South Dakota in two years, Stegmeier, a businessman from Tea, said his next step is to commission a statewide poll to test the legitimacy of the amendment's overwhelming loss at the polls.
and...
"It will be the type of polling used when there's a possibility or suspicion of voter fraud, and evidently this type of polling is going on all over the country," Stegmeier said.

People also need to be aware that it may not be a good idea to sign every ballot petition they are asked about.
The people canvassing for E and D were very misinforming. They didn't have any brochures and could not or would not clearly explain what the ballot issue was for or would do. They would tell you it was for "judicial accountability" or "fair property tax". They would not provide more information. I really made one guy mad for not signing his ballot. I told him if he could not explain exactly what it does I'm not signing.
What is up with Billy and Leslee Unruh refusing to deal with the reality that they lost? At least Whalen admitted he lost even if he tried to blame the media.
Too bad there's no tax on advertising, huh?
(...bites tongue)
We asked the man if the two tried to resolve the issue at the polling place (it would have been easy - you could have checked the sign-in sheet to find out if it was a clerical error or a true instance of fraud - which seems unlikely because someone would have to present false ID in order to vote) and he said no. We asked if he wanted us to call the auditor for him, and he said "Eh...I guess we'll call later, or something."
Obviously not a huge deal to him.
Initiated law and amendment petitions should be fulfilled with a proportional geographical distribution.
Specifics please, because I think you're...embellishing things quite a bit, if not making this up entirely.
It seems strange that they didn't take the issue further so that they could vote. Then again, it might all be just as they said it was - especially if any of the election workers knew the people.
