Political Landscape of South Dakota
Partisan Composition of South Dakota
Overall, South Dakota is considered a deep red state, with a Cook PVI of R+16 as of 2022, regularly voting 60-65% Republican in statewide races. South Dakota's entire federal delegation and governorship is Republican. Republicans also have supermajorities in the state house (62-7-1 vacancy) and state senate (30-4-1 vacancy) as of 1/29/24.
Progressive Outlook for South Dakota
The overall progressive strategy for South Dakota is bleak. The focus should be on harm reduction and blunting the Republican supermajority trifecta via citizen-led ballot measures. It is also recommended to take a Republican ballot and vote for the more moderate choice in Republican primaries, as South Dakota is a semi-closed primary state.
