Voters in three small South Dakota counties on Tuesday defeated measure to require hand-counting of all ballots in future elections. The votes in Gregory, Haakon and Tripp counties might not be the only ones in South Dakota to prohibit tabulating machines and require hand-counting.
The measures sought to prohibit the use of tabulating machines and would require hand-counting, which local election officials said would cost more money and require more election workers, who might be difficult to find.The measures might not be the only ones put to a vote in South Dakota . Citizens in dozens of other counties are circulating petitions for hand-counting measures, according to Jessica Pollema, president of SD Canvassing, a group which supports the efforts.
Todd and Tripp County Auditor Barb DeSersa, who opposed the measure, said, “Well, obviously, the voters have spoken, but I feel that they believe ... we’d be going backwards in time and there is confidence in the machine. There was no reason not to have confidence.”3rd try at approving recreational marijuana in South Dakota makes the ballotTurnout in Tripp County was 37%, which is typical for a primary election, she said.
Fall River County hand-counted its primary election ballots, after the county commission voted earlier this year to do so. County Auditor Sue Ganje said it took about 40 election workers over six hours to hand-count 1,913 ballots.
