NO, NO, and NO
No to California in SD
California uses Amendment H style primary elections. We don’t need California cost of living, crime, and filth, and government overreach in South Dakota.
No Dark Money
Money for Amendment H came from Colorado and Virginia political organizations that are financed by East Coast billionaires. There are about $1 million is for “consulting fees”.
No to Limited Choice
Amendment H would make it more expensive for people to run for office and would keep some parties from having candidates on the general election ballot.
VOTE NO on AMENDMENT H
NO to California in SD
A top-two primary election, like is proposed in Amendment H, is only used in two states: California and Washington.
These states have also seen radical-agenda, fringe candidates elected to office after moving to top-two primary elections.
Both California and Washington have seen an significant increases in cost of living and crime since they adopted top-two primary elections.
VOTE NO on AMENDMENT H.
NO to Dark Money
Amendment H is funded by out of state dark money groups from Colorado and Virginia that think they can buy our elections.
Almost $1,000,000 has been allocated to “consulting fees” (2023: $657,467, May 2024: $216,343, Oct 2024: $61,824). Who is getting paid? Why?
Amendment H would significantly increase the cost of elections and political campaigns giving more influence to Super PACs and wealthy donors.
Money should not determine who wins our elections, the voters should.
Big money is using words like “fair” to try to trick us with Amendment H.

NO to Limiting Voter Choice
A top-two system would basically make the primary election a "general election" so the cost of running for office would increase substantially making it very challenging for average people to run for office.
It is possible (likely) that two candidates from the same political party would win the primary and face off in the general election. This would mean some parties would never have a candidate in the general election.
