Here's the full clip where @govkristinoem provides no evidence of purposeful voter fraud (there have been errors that have been corrected). 1/x

.@GStephanopoulos points out that the Gore recount was about one very close state while Trump is behind in larger margins in multiple states, that even with recounts it won't make a difference. He said he's spoken w/ multiple Republican election leaders who've seen no fraud. 2/x
If there was widespread voter fraud I think election leaders and reporters would have noticed it. That would be a great and important scoop for a reporter. Noem points to machine mistakes, clerical issues, dead people voting ... issues that were caught and corrected. 3/x
Here is @NPRinskeep explaining that even if Trump were to reverse some states through lawsuits that have so far failed to provide evidence of voter fraud, Biden still wins:

Is @govkristinoem the only governor making accusations of voter fraud and who believes recounts or court battles could change the outcome of the election? 5/x
Now here is the Pennington County GOP posting on FB that it's upset at Fox News for using math and evidence to report facts. And suggesting that Trump has been "robbed" of his second term:

The Pennington County GOP FB page has tons of posts like this: facebook.com/PennCoGOP

Again to emphasize: A reporter would love to catch evidence of voter fraud if it existed. It would be important for the public and democracy to report on this, and it would be a big scoop. Reporters have been catching and writing about errors which have then been fixed.

George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, Bibi Netanyahu, etc. have all accepted the vote. What does Noem know that they don't?
Washington post fact checker making a similar point to Inskeep:
Here is the full interview clip that I forgot to post:
“The head of an international delegation monitoring the U.S. election says his team has no evidence to support President Donald Trump’s claims about alleged fraud involving mail-in absentee ballots.”

Just got back from a ride and saw a man on Nemo Road taking down his row of Trump yard signs.
“Bipartisan sources agree that voter fraud – for instance, stuffing ballot boxes or voting multiple times – is an an exceedingly rare crime with almost no chance of affecting the presidential election.”

An example of an election mistake that occurred and was quickly corrected in Arizona. This is not voter fraud or proof that anything was rigged.

One of my family’s dogs died this morning. Sidney was a rescued nearly 11-year-old English Bulldog. He had a wonderful day outside yesterday and experienced a camp fire for his first time.
He went on a walk this morning and our other dog came to kiss him before he had a seizure or stroke before quickly dying in my dad’s arms.

SD high school students holding Trump flags posed with a student wearing black face. Some students wrote racist comments on the photos while others condoned the black face and comments.
Is justice in this case to criminally charge or suspend the students?

Or is justice having them do serious education about racism, apologize and do some sort of volunteer work.

Which option will create change now+hopefully in the future?
Our country likes to rely on the criminal justice system for many problems. There are other options like education and restorative justice.

What would restorative justice look like in this case+others where students say or do things that are racist, antisemitic, sexist, etc.?

This is being held in Sioux Falls with no call-in option. This means reporters like me who can’t make a 10-hour round trip for a press conference won’t be able to ask questions to Noem+Sec. Price based off the new info we’re told. This is very upsetting.
I can ask reporters to ask some questions I have (some have already kindly offered to do this) but I can't ask real-time questions I think of based on the NEW info we are learning from the press conference. That's the benefit of a press conference ... you get to ask questions.
I can follow up with spokespeople, but not Gov. Noem + Sec. Price. It's 2020 and a pandemic. We have technological solutions to make this press conference inclusive to those who can't make it. This has been done in the past.

Third annual memorial walk for the children who died at the Rapid City Indian Boarding School. This year will include a groundbreaking for a permanent memorial to those who died+survived. 1/x #NativeAmericanDay
The memorial will have educational materials and be a place to reflect and remember. It will also be a gathering place for the Lakota community as it will have a cooking space, tipis and inipis (sweat lodges). 2/x
Children hold signs of children who died at the boarding school. Some adults are also holding signs of their own ancestors who died. As you can see some children were never identified. 3/x

Rapid City please share! My bikes were stolen from a locked garage. I just want them back, no questions asked. They are a dark purple gravel bike w/ drop bars + a bright orange mountain bike. Both say "Salsa," have silver pedals I clip into, and no bags on them. ImageImageImageImage
ImageImageImage
-I already reported this to police
-I'm sharing this on social media groups
-I'm currently calling pawn shops
-I'm going to print out missing signs and post them around town and at pawn shops

Fingers crossed I find them!

BREAKING:Ravnsborg released a statement at 10:07 p.m. his time w/ lots of details. Biggest things: He says both he+the sheriff missed the victim's body when they searched the area. Then the sheriff let him drive his car home. Then he returned+discovered the body. Keep reading 1/x
The statement has the AG's Office letterhead on it but it came through his campaign email, not his work email to the media. The office's spokesman told me he has no idea about this letter. Story coming. 2/x
Again, a sheriff and the top law enforcement official (whose jobs it is to investigate crimes) say they missed an injured man when they searched at night. 3/x
