  • Historical Musings: the Contours of South Dakota Political Culture
    Copyright © 2004 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Historical Musings The Contours of South Dakota Political Culture JON LAUCK, JOHN E. MILLER, AND EDWARD HOGAN like other states of the Midwest and Great Plains, South Dakota en- joys a moderate republican political culture, rooted in a belief in the equality of individuals and their ability to work together for the greater good. While similarities among these states abound, differences also persist. The political culture of South Dakota is distinct from that of Minnesota, known historically for its liberal leanings, and that of Wy- oming, known for its conservatism. The political culture of South Da- kota, where Populism originated, is even quite distinct from that of North Dakota, where radical pohtical reforms did not take hold until later. As the editor of the Watertown Public Opinion noted in 1890, the "politics of North Dakota is a product of an entirely different breed of cats."' We aim to sketch some of the influences that shape the broad contours of South Dakota's political culture and, therefore, the prac- tice of politics in the state. These contours, like those of a winding streambed, can change in response to events and trends from without but frequently return to form, or what anthropologist Adam Kuper calls "the authentic, local way of being different."^ The authors wish to thank Dwight Adams, Robert Burns, Loren Carlson, Herb Cheever, Alan Clem, Marshall Damgaard, Dave Danbom.

Hillberry∗ William D. Anderson† University of Melbourne University of South Dakota August 2012 Abstract This study uses cross-county variation in support for 46 ballot measures to identify political subcultures in South Dakota and to study them. A hierarchical clustering method applied to county-level election returns allows the identification of subcultures at various levels of granularity. We choose a threshold that suggests seven subcultures as a useful summary of the data. While the allocation procedure employs only election returns as an input, the identified subcultures match observable regularities in demographics and geography. Subsequent factor analysis of election returns from the ballot measures reveals a multi-dimensional policy space. By contrast, a similar analysis of support for political candidates reveals a single partisan spectrum as a dominant feature of the data. A county’s location in the revealed policy space well explains its location along this partisan spectrum. The link between policy and partisan preferences is robust to the inclusion of a wide variety of additional control measures. Keywords: Constraint, political culture, partisanship, efficient classification ∗Corresponding author.
