Elections

On October 11, 2017, Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Lora Hubbel sent out a press release noting that South Dakota Republican Party Chairman Dan Lederman had been registered as a Democrat during the 2000 election cycle. In reporting the story, the media noted that Hubbel had changed parties, having been chair of the South Dakota Constitution Party up until February 2017.
After losing the 2018 Republican primary for State Senate, Hubbel attempted to be named as a candidate for Governor on the Constitution Party ticket as did former Republican Party candidate Terry LaFleur. The Constitution Party convention ended up nominating no candidates for statewide office.. Terry LaFleur accused Lora Hubbel and her supporters of trying to stage a coup. Both factions reconvened separately, each nominating candidates for office. In response, the South Dakota Republican Party sought and was granted a Writ of Prohibition against placing either Constitution Party candidates on The ballot.
