When Ballots Missed Deadline
from Pierre News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
When Minnehaha County’s absentee ballot window slammed shut in just seven days, voters like Kathy Holm—recovering at home after surgery—faced real hurdles. With Juneteenth slowing mail delivery and ballots taking over ten days to cross town, a friend stepped in to make multiple courthouse runs, ensuring Kathy’s vote didn’t go uncounted. It’s a powerful reminder that community grit can bridge systemic gaps in democracy. Meanwhile, Auditor Leah Anderson urges voters who received ballots too late to destroy them completely, and warns that legal guidance is still pending before releasing late-ballot stats. The postal service’s deadline for feedback? July twenty-sixth. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
