South Dakota Election Official Disputes Rejection of Over 100 Primary Ballots

Absentee ballots in Minnehaha County were wrongly invalidated following challenges by a conservative group's leader, says county auditor.

132 absentee ballots were rejected in the June 4 primary after challenges from SD Canvassing's president.
The group alleged voter registration forms were incomplete or had incorrect addresses.
One precinct board accepted the challenges, while another rejected them.
The South Dakota Secretary of State's office stated the challenges did not meet legal parameters.
Efforts to contact affected voters were made but were limited by Election Day deadlines.
