Eyes of the Nation Focusing on Minnehaha County
According to the website of South Dakota’s largest county, “Anyone who makes a false statement when voting, tries to vote knowing he or she is not a qualified voter, or tries to vote more than once has committed an election crime.”
Working against local news media who typically use propaganda terms such as “unfounded allegations of rigged voting systems,” “echoing accusations from far-right media,” “election denialism,” “far-right delegates,” and, the ever popular, “despite no evidence” to spin their slanted narratives, it is refreshing to see smart and capable officials do the right thing.
Leah Anderson, the detail-minded Minnehaha County Auditor in South Dakota, realized something was wrong in recent elections when she took over in 2023.
“Because of Leah’s bold move announcing to the Minnehaha County Commission during the canvass of the vote that she’s going ahead with a 100% post election hand count audit, the commissioners all of a sudden have questions,” an involved source informed us.
Anderson will be presenting at the County Commission meeting on Tuesday June 18, 9am CST. Leah’s 2nd on the agenda. It promises to be explosive! Commission meetings can be watched live by clicking on this link below.

One clue for Anderson was that voting “equipment and records were stored in multiple locations with less-than-ideal controls in place.”
As Anderson took a deeper dive, she found multiple issues, and “took it upon myself to investigate past elections and review the digital data stored by the County created by the ES&S tabulators and the election management system.”
An extremely significant clue something is rotten regarding Minnehaha elections is the extremely high and abnormal number of “deflections” of voters casting specific votes against their political party.
Jeff O’Donnell, a highly respected expert has analyzed millions of votes in recent elections. He knows there is an average of only 4-6% of voters who will “split their ticket.”
● This means there is a small percentage of citizens who do not vote for all candidates of one declared party.
● Between federal and state candidates, this percentage is even less.
● When it is observed that significantly more voters “defected” from their party in just the top-level races, it is a strong indication of votes being manipulated.
In Minnehaha, there are a great deal of defections as recorded in the Cast Vote Record:
● 52,773 voters voted for Republican Mike Rounds for Senator (which is in and of itself surprising, being 12,291 votes higher than President Trump’s total).
● The Cast Vote Record allows deeper dig, showing that of those 52,773 voters, 6,191 (11.7%) voted for someone other than President Trump.
● Only 2,865 (5.4%) voted for Biden. Please note that undervotes (where there was no selection) are not included in these calculations.
● Republican Gary Hanson received 55,108 votes for Public Utilities Commissioner (2,335 more than received by Senator Rounds and 5,859 more than President Trump).
● Of those voters, 10,802 (19.8%) did not vote for President Trump and 8,907 (16.2%) did not vote for Senator Rounds.
● This pattern continues among the Republican candidates, and in total 15.2% of voters who voted for a Republican Candidate voted for someone other than President Trump (6.5% voted for Biden), and 11.2% voted for someone other than Senator Rounds (6.2% voted for Democrat Dan Ahlers).
The strong conclusion reached is that an algorithm that re-ordered and changed votes created inconsistencies in individual ballots, and those inconsistencies are uncovered by the Voter Defection Analysis.
Local analysis of the candidates and their support bases, platforms, and advertising is encouraged.

Hopefully, more officials will act with integrity by grabbing Leah’s baton and spiking it through the festering boils of corruption. 🙂

I love that: “the festering boils of corruption.” Really picturesque, so to speak.

Thanks for all that info on the dig. I really like those ten points. Funny, human beings are funny. I wonder how many of the other officials suspected all along and were too afraid to do anything; it takes just one decent and brave person to lead, sometimes, to give the weak ones courage to stand up too. Of course, there’s always the cynical side that says they’re like, “Whoops, I’d better get on board, the wind’s changed and I don’t want to look bad,” but let’s hope this thing helps all the states to blow this thing out of the water.

That would be nice. We were mentioned in the meeting live on camera. That was fun. South Dakota suffers from a bad case of woke & liberally slanted media. We’ve received a suprising # of new subscribers (some cancelling their electronic &/or delivered newspaper subscriptions, they informed us). This makes me happy.
