Rhinos, Rumors, and Rural Revolts

Back again! This week on the show the Dakota Town Hall crew heads northeast and northwest with Senate candidates Katie Washnock and Ryan Maher, plus ballot champion Nathan Sanderson. We get into collapsing voter turnout, the Republican civil war tearing through Brown County, and why campaigns are suddenly fighting over data centers, power grids, and property taxes all at once. Plus, a deep dive into what’s actually headed for the statewide ballot, why Pierre can’t stop tinkering with the constitution, and whether South Dakota voters are about to get hit with another round of ballot measure chaos.

Then things get weird. The crew swaps stories about forum meltdowns, “rhino” scorecards, duct tape parenting controversies, and the rumor mill surrounding forged precinct paperwork in Minnehaha County. There’s also a classic Dakota Town Hall detour into Irish revolutionaries, reservation bar stories, and the best burgers in South Dakota before the gang closes with some unfiltered thoughts on the Rhoden vs. Dusty primary fight and why nobody in this state seems to actually vote anymore. Same chaos, new week.
