Legislation targets petition fraud
From Times Wire Reports
The state House of Representatives has voted to make it illegal to pay people per signature in campaigns to gather enough support to get a measure on South Dakota’s ballot.
The legislation is meant to reduce fraud. If the measure passes, petition carriers could still be paid by the hour or on salary.
