South Dakota Major Party Presidential Primaries Only List Five Candidates

South Dakota holds its presidential primaries on June 7. The only Democrats on the South Dakota ballot will be Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The only Republicans will be Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and Donald Trump. No other state has so few major party candidates on the presidential primary ballots. The major parties chose candidates that would be on the ballots automatically. There is an alternate petition route for other candidates, but no one used it.
