It’s getting kind of hard to figure out who is being censured by the Minnehaha County Republican Party without a censure scorecard.
In the latest development, the vice chair and the committeewoman are trying to hold an unauthorized meeting to sanction the chair, Korry Petterson, over his sanctioning of Senator Tom Pischke for being a dirtbag to people on Facebook.
Here is the notice they sent out:

Dear Minnehaha County Central Committee Members,
We hope this email finds you well. We are writing to encourage your full participation in our upcoming Central Committee special meeting on Monday, October 27, 2025.
This special meeting, called by Bridget Myers and myself, Vice Chairwoman Marsha Symens, will include an important discussion regarding the proposed resolution to censure Chairman Korry Petterson, specifically concerning, but not limited to, the meetings held on May 12, 2025, and October 4, 2025. These meetings were conducted improperly.
Attached is the agenda and a copy of the county rules.
Sincerely,

I find it hard to believe that people don’t want to get involved in politics when they read about this kind of stuff. (That was sarcasm.)
Actually, this is a clown car. Except it’s South Dakota’s largest county, and there are more people—so they need a clown bus.
