ACLU trains election observers across South Dakota as deterrent
Original: ACLU seeks ‘deterrent’ against election problems by training observers across South Dakota
The ACLU of South Dakota is training election observers across the state, describing the effort as a deterrent to potential problems at the polls. The program aims to have monitors present during elections to help ensure voting runs smoothly and that voter rights are protected. The initiative comes amid ongoing national attention on election administration and access to the ballot.
Why now: Ongoing national concern about election integrity and administration is prompting civil rights groups to monitor polling places.
