• I am satisfied with the ruling of the court today.  The court's ruling provides me the opportunity to publish more information to the voters of South Dakota.  Hopefully, this additional information will assist South Dakotans in being more informed on the ballot questions on this year's ballot.
• I began the process of publishing new pamphlets today.  The PDF version has already been updated on sdsos.gov, and my goal will be to have a new version of the pamphlet printed as soon as possible.
• I was confident that the statutory requirements were fulfilled.  It is for this reason I was steadfast in my decision to ensure that the Ballot Question pamphlets were available to the public before absentee voting began on September 21^st.  With the implied deadline of September 21^st, reprinting the ballot question pamphlet was made possible with the court's approval. 
• I want to encourage the voters of South Dakota to study and ask questions about the ballot questions.  They are all very important and deserving of our full attention. 
• We are 10 days away from the voter registration deadline of October 22^nd, and 25 days away from Election Day on November 6^th.  As of today, 17,369 South Dakotans have cast an absentee ballot and there is still plenty of time to make your voice heard.
