From the ArgusLeader.com:
South Dakota’s top law enforcement official confirmed today that his office is investigating whether three rallies held by Democrats last week violated state law by offering people food in exchange for a chance to cast early ballots.
The state Republican Party filed a complaint with Attorney General Marty Jackley’s office last week after reports that Democrats planned to hold “feeds” on three reservations. Democrats advertised the feeds as an opportunity for voters to get something to eat, followed by the chance to be transported by volunteers to polling places for early voting.
“The state has received various complaints about offering of food in exchange for or to induce voting,” Jackley said. “We are treating the matter under our normal procedure of accepting any information, and making further determinations as the facts or evidence may justify.”
