A well-known pro-choice campaign is facing allegations of voter fraud.
VoteYesForLife.com, a pro-life organization in support of banning most abortions in South Dakota, says the Campaign for Healthy Families has been encouraging people to vote, even though they don't plan on staying in South Dakota after the election, which is illegal. "Vote Yes" is asking Attorney General Larry Long to investigate after submitting an audio transcript to him late Friday.
"Me [SIC]are interested in learning more about this. It was submitted by a concerned citizen who is a supporter of the campaign and we just found out about it within the last two days," said spokesperson Brandi Gruis of VoteYesForLife.com.
Meanwhile, Nathan Peterson with the Campaign for Healthy Families calls the allegations a "political stunt." He said, "We haven't engaged in illegal activity that would violate South Dakota law and to my knowledge we certainly aren't engaged in some sort of conspiracy to commit massive voter fraud. I think that that's just a ridiculous assertion."
At this time, Sara Rabern with the Attorney General's Office is not aware that they've received any information. Attorney General Larry Long had no comment.
