SD: SUSA: Rounds +11, Weiland, Pressler nearly tie

[IceSpear]

It's pathetic that Rounds consistently can't break 40, but yeah this is still likely R (much closer to safe than lean). It's important to keep in mind that this isn't exactly like Kansas/Alaska, in that not all Pressler voters will go to Weiland if he drops out.

Maybe Dems should lean on Weiland to drop out then.

Also, Rounds' performance here has been/is pitiful.

Is there a chance Pressler drops out?

The deadline for dropping out in South Dakota has long past.  It was last month.  Anyone who drops out will remain on the ballot.

Oh, cinyc. You don't understand, do you? Petty matters like legal ballot deadlines don't matter to the notorious ballot shysters in the opposition party. 

Are u referring to Kansas or just doing your normal condescension?

Kansas and various other states where the Dems, set to lose, try to pull a magic ballot act and then whine on the rare occasion when the law triumphs.

Kobach is a partisan hack who doesn't give a damn about the law. If the situation were reversed, he'd still rule in favor of the GOP.

Exhibit #535,753 why SoS should not be a partisan office.

As others have pointed out, as we're past the deadline, a candidate who would drop out would remain on the ballot.

That's fine. Dems wanted Kendrick Meek to drop out in 2010 even though he would've stayed on the ballot. It at least presents a shot, whereas neither of Weiland/Pressler have a chance in a three way race.
