Late primary states mostly irrelevant


Tuesday, June 2 is mostly a dead letter day in South Dakota during the Democratic presidential primary where voters usually just go through the motions after the nominee has already been selected.
Many can't wait for the candidates and journalists to pack up and move on to the next states on the primary schedule. Not Melody Beaulieu. President of College Democrats at USD, Beaulieu will be among more than a dozen student volunteers from the university in Sioux City on caucus night, doing what they can to help their Iowa neighbors conduct their electoral business. Aaron Vlasman, a sophomore from Watertown, South Dakota, will be one of the volunteers wishing he, too, could be standing in support of one of the candidates rather than watching others do so. [Onlookers from neighboring states long for Iowans' ability to caucus]
Just the thought of a daughter living in Sioux City Fucking Iowa is nightmare-inducing.
