“Simply put, this bill is designed to institute tyranny of the minority. With this bill, a single district will have veto power over the entire state. Petition sponsors could collect the required statewide total and the required district total in 34 of 35 senatorial districts and an initiated amendment would be barred from the ballot. As an example, if a signature drive failed to gather the 454 required signatures from District 23 but collected 40,000 signatures statewide, that petition would fail to qualify for the ballot. HB 1169 is a blatant attempt to strip South Dakotans of their constitutional ballot initiative rights and arrogate even more power to the legislature.”
