South Dakota Voter Access Lawsuit | Pierre News

A nonprofit and a voter are suing South Dakota over its new voter registration rule requiring proof of citizenship—like a birth certificate or passport—which has left 1,500 voters eligible only for federal ballots. The lawsuit argues the state’s rigid enforcement disqualifies eligible voters over minor errors and fails to offer remedies. The League of Women Voters demands the state accept photocopies, clarify federal-only status, and allow challenges—claiming the law violates the Civil Rights Act. State officials haven’t commented, but this case underscores the national tension between voter access and election security.
