From Fairfield Citizen:
Both major parties firmed up their candidate lineups for the November general elections Saturday at their state conventions.
State Sen. Jason Gant of Sioux Falls won a three-way battle for the South Dakota Republican Party’s nomination to run for secretary of state.
Gant, 33, won the nomination on the second ballot, defeating Deputy Secretary of State Teresa Bray and state Rep. Tom Deadrick of Platte.
Gant and other Republicans said they’re worried that the Democratic candidate, state Sen. Ben Nesselhuf of Vermillion, would weaken controls on voting by allowing registration on Election Day and doing away with some voter identification requirements.
