The goal of this scorecard is simple: make government transparent to the people they represent. History has proven that free people are capable of extraordinary things—but many current laws hold South Dakotans back from truly thriving. That’s why our growing community of activists across the state are fighting every day to make the Mount Rushmore State a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We support legislation that enhances liberty and opportunity and oppose legislation that restricts those two concepts. As such, the bills listed in this scorecard reflect that. What you won’t see are grades or scores for individual legislators. What you will see is a description of issues and legislation with how our legislators voted during the two years that they served in this term. We hope this information helps you stay informed about how your Senators and Representatives have voted on important issues. If nothing else, it will serve as a basis for your conversations with them. We trust that policymakers are working to remove barriers that make it more difficult for South Dakotans to achieve their full potential and believe this tool will help shape their thinking toward that.

  • Redistricting in Indian Country in South Dakota
    REDISTRICTING IN INDIAN COUNTRY IN SOUTH DAKOTA WHAT IS REDISTRICTING? Redistricting is the redrawing of the geographic lines that divide districts for the state legislature, county boards of commissioners, city councils, school boards, and other local bodies. It is required by the U.S. Constitution. Redistricting usually takes place every ten years, after the United States conducts the decennial census to determine how many people live in each state. This guide is focused on redistricting in South Dakota, including the South Dakota Senate and South Dakota House of Representatives. Information on county-level redistricting in South Dakota will be available at https://vote.narf.org/redistricting/. By redrawing district lines every ten years, redistricting takes into account where populations have increased or decreased. The main goal of redistricting is to ensure that all districts have approximately the same number of people. This protects the constitutional right to have a vote that is equal to any other person’s vote. It is crucial that Native Americans have an equal voice in redistricting to protect their ability to elect candidates of their choice. How can your Native community participate in this process? How can you ensure that your community’s political power is protected? This guide explains the redistricting process and how we all can participate. WHY IS REDISTRICTING IMPORTANT? Redistricting matters because it controls access to political representation. It influences who runs for office and who is elected. Elected representatives make many decisions that influence our daily lives, from acknowledging tribal sovereignty to honoring treaties to protecting the land. Residents of a district should be able to hold their representative accountable and be sure that their representative is truly representing the interests of the people.
