South Dakota Voting Law Faces Legal Challenge | Pierre News

A group of voting rights groups has sued South Dakota officials over how the state’s new voter registration law is being enforced — not the law itself, but its inconsistent rollout. With an emergency clause, the law went into effect immediately, requiring proof of citizenship for registration. But county auditors are applying it unevenly: some voters receive confusing mail about address errors when the real issue is missing citizenship documentation. The League of Women Voters and ACLU say they tried to fix this with state election officials without success, so they’re now taking legal action to demand a uniform, fair process across all counties. The Attorney General’s office won’t comment until officially served — but they’ll likely defend the state once the lawsuit is reviewed.
