Janklow accuses GOP vote program of 'cheating'
Wednesday, October 13, 2004

Former South Dakota congressman and governor Bill Janklow (R) says the Republican National Party is "cheating" the electoral process in his state.

The Victory program is designed to register voters and get them to the polls. But Janklow says the operation broke election rules when he ran for Congress in 2002.

The program and the South Dakota GOP are in the middle of a state criminal investigation into absentee ballots on college campuses. Six GOP workers have resigned over alleged irregularities.
