Campaign Finance Issues
Consider the campaign finance info out there, we might reflect on the monies not reflected in candidates submissions because the money is provided by out of state PACs. Consider the text messages and mailers received from other than the candidates themselves. Then consider the "scientific polling" done on behalf of one of the candidates. That poll was likely on the order of $20,000 to $40,000. The denials simply deepen the certainty that it was an intended benefit. I believe that there has been something on the order of $100,000 spent by PACs to influence the SD-14 election.
