South Dakota Ballot Access Improvement Bill Passes

On February 13, the South Dakota legislature passed HB 1037. It allows independent candidates for president to use a stand-in for vice-president, and allows an independent gubernatorial candidate to use a stand-in for Lieutenant Governor. Also it moves the deadline for a newly-qualifying party from March to July, but only if that new party is willing to forego running candidates for Congress, Governor or legislature.
