Images of Pro-Life Petitions Submitted to SD Secretary of State

I received an email with the pictures below from Western Dakota Families; they were sent to them from Al Carlson of Citizens for Life in Rapid City.

The email states the number of petitions turned in to Chris Nelson, the South Dakota Secretary of State, was 46,333.

Not bad for a couple of months' work in the middle of a South Dakota winter!

The Secretary of State's office will check the petition signatures to ensure they're valid, and hopefully we'll hear that pronouncement in a few weeks.

Though some are sure to get rejected (just the law of averages), the number shouldn't be too substantial. I tried to check over all that I gathered for legibility, etc., and checked over those I notarized. I know the South Dakota Family Policy Council and VoteYesForLife.com folks were also going over them for quality control, too.

Let's make history this November, South Dakota!
