Dissension in SD
One recent mini-scandal in South Dakota is undermining John Thune's efforts to unseat Tom Daschle. Six Republicans have resigned over allegations of cheating in filling out absentee ballot applications. Individuals not qualified to do so have been acting as notaries
Former GOP governor Bill Janklow, who still speaks for a lot of South Dakota Republicans (in spite of his manslaughter conviction) criticized the national party for encouraging cheating.
Earlier coverage of the SD GOP indicated the presence of a rift between Janklow and Thune. This goes further toward demonstrating it.
