RedState<\/a> notices the futility of Obama and Clinton fighting it out in South Dakota and Montana.<\/p>\n

The two Democratic candidates are currently fighting it out in Montana and South Dakota. They have to spend money there. Bush took both states in 2004 by 21 points. Neither Democrat can realistically hope to win either in November.<\/p>\n

And they’re not even done yet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They are both spending time and money here but in such small media markets the cost is negligible at best. The interesting point is the futility.<\/p>\n

South Dakota has not voted for a Democrat since 1940, except for 1964. That means they voted against FDR, Truman and Kennedy. When Democrat icons can\u2019t carry South Dakota; Barry and Hillary have zero chance.<\/p>\n

In 2004, Bush carried South Dakota handily. In the only two counties to cast more than 10,000 votes (Minnehaha and Pennington), Bush carried them by 15 and 35 points respectively. Of the 66 counties in South Dakota, Kerry managed to carry nine. Only three of those (Roberts, Day and Clay) were majority white people. The other six (Ziebach, Todd, Shannon, Dewey, Corson and Buffalo) are made up of 80% Native Americans.<\/p>\n

It is very likely that many of the votes in those six counties were cast by dead people (who Obama can apparently see), three year olds and porch dogs named shotgun.<\/p>\n

As the Wall Street Journal <\/a>reported in 2002, voter fraud on Indian Reservations is rampant in Tom Daschel\u2019s native state.<\/p>\n

More and more counties are uncovering fraud. Rapid City officials are investigating two brothers who may have forged registrations. Denise Red Horse of Ziebach County died September 3 in a car crash. But both Ziebach and Dewey counties found separate absentee-ballot applications from her dated September 21 in bundles of applications mailed from Democratic headquarters. Maka Duta, who worked for the Democratic Party collecting registrations in Ziebach, bought a county history book that contains many local names. Some are turning up in the pile of new registrations. At least nine absentee ballot requests have been returned by the post office. Mable Romero says she received a registration card for her three-year-old granddaughter, Ashley. Some voters claim to have been offered cash to register to vote. In both Dewey and Ziebach counties, the number of registered voters easily exceeds the number of residents over 18 counted by the 2000 census.<\/p>\n

Renee Dross, an election clerk for Shannon County, says her office has received some 1,100 new voter registrations in a county with only 10,000 people. “Many were clearly signed by the same person,” she says. Some registrants actually live in neighboring Nebraska. As in most states, South Dakotans are on an “honor system” and don’t show photo ID to register or vote. Only the unprecedented flood of applications raised any suspicions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently trying to steal the election didn\u2019t work either.<\/p>\n

You have to admit that this is entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
