South Dakota is changing the specific grounds that can be used to challenge whether someone is eligible to vote. Under this revised law, voters can only be challenged on three narrow issues: whether they've voted or registered elsewhere, whether they meet South Dakota's residency requirements, or whether they are a U.S. citizen. This limits the reasons for voter challenges compared to what was previously allowed.
