Disenfranchisment of RV Voters and “Federal-Only” Status Not Sufficient to Explain Turnout Drop

A District 15 denizen asks if the sharp decline in South Dakota’s midterm voter turnout from 59.40% in 2022 to 49.37% this year might be connected to the purging of RV voters and the relegation of thousands of voters who didn’t have citizenship documents handy (and some incorrectly de-registered residents) to “federal-only” status. A look at the numbers suggests those voter-suppression tactics may have depressed turnout a little but not enough to explain the remarkable disinterest statewide in this year’s election.

The Future of Sioux Falls’ Skies: The Push for the F-35

Currently, there is a coordinated effort between the South Dakota Air National Guard, the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce, the South Dakota Chamber of Commerce and many other partners to make Sioux Falls the future site of the F-35 Lightning II fighter. For the past few decades, Sioux Falls has been home to the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and we have enjoyed its presence in our skies during that time. However, the F-16 will begin being phased out over the next 10-15 years, and the F-35 is the clear replacement for our aging fighter wing here in Sioux Falls.
