 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, October 16, 2002 VOL. I Issue 10G FIRST FROST ON THE PONDEROSA Looks like it's time to get the blankets and long underwear down from the attic. The outside temp got down to 24 degrees. Snow was even falling in several scattered locations in Hyde county this afternoon. The snow did not accumulate, however, and melted with the warmer weather as the day wore on. MARY HINKLE GOES BACK TO SCHOOL It's been said "you're never too old to learn". Trying to prove that is Mary Hinkle, who is taking a computer class at Capital University Center's night school in Pierre. Her class meets Wednesday nights at 7pm. She was a little late in getting started, but seemed to catch up. She has been closemouthed as to what, if anything, she has learned through this class. VOTER FRAUD IN SOUTH DAKOTA It has made the national news that 3 and possibly 6 or more South Dakota counties have been recieving fruadulent requests for absentee ballots for the upcoming Nov. 5th election. Onbe such request sent 2 weeks after the voter had died.(Well, she won't be able to come to the polls on Election Day, and for a very good reason). One county had recieved 3 separate requests from the same voter. There was 238 requests filed for people that didn't even exist in Pennington County. The South Dakota Democratic party has been blamed for this but nothing has been proved. It seems that the party paid a recruiter $3 each for names. This is being investigated at the federal level. South Dakota isn't alone in this. In Minnesota's Dakota County several request for absentee ballots were sent to the County Auditor's office to be sent to the address of a local strip club. (It's assumed that no voters live there) No nefarious activity was reported in Hyde County as of yet. If that changes you can count on the Holabird Advocate to report it first.
