Most South Dakota county auditors disagree with election drop box ban

South Dakota lawmakers recently passed House Bill 1165, which modified absentee voting rules and banned the use of unmonitored ballot drop boxes. The measure was then signed into law by Gov. Kristi Noem. But the premise used to outlaw the use of drop boxes – that they are vulnerable to fraud and used to rig electoral outcomes – is false, according to a South Dakota News Watch survey of every county auditor in the state.
