ACLU: South Dakota's Voter Laws Ensure Access To Polls

Victoria Wicks

An ACLU lawyer says South Dakota is looking good compared with certain other states when it comes to voting rights. Courtney Bowie was in Rapid City Thursday to give a presentation on this state's voting laws. She says a federal judge in North Dakota just declared that state's voting process unconstitutional because it puts up barriers to Native voters. But South Dakota has protections in place that make registering fairly easy and that allow for voting by affidavit.
