It has come to my attention that the link I included in Gordo v. Gordo to the list of 2008 candidates proved as effective as driving a golf cart on a day like today. Which is too bad, as the list of legislative candidates is proving to be some of the most fascinating reading of the day.

So here’s a little lesson on getting directly to that list.

1) Go to the South Dakota Secretary of State website at http://www.sdsos.gov/ (or click here).

2) Drag that little hand thingy over to the “Elections & Voter Registration” tab (it’s blue on my browser).

3) When the list pops up below the tab, move the hand thingy to “Upcoming Election” at third from the top. Click that.

4) Find the link titled “2008 Candidate List” - fifth from the top of the first list.

5) You’re not quite done yet. The next page gives you the option to either print the list or view it online. I’ve not printed it, so I can’t offer guidance on that. But, click on “View the 2008 Candidate List,” which is in relatively giant type.

Now you’re into a semi-user-friendly list, 7 pages, which includes the congressional candidates, the legislative candidates and presidential types.
