We've only posted once about Logan Manhart, in January's In SD District One, GOP candidate & operative doesn't want to talk to press about January 6.
As Gov. Kristi Noem, Senate leader team up to keep Republican 'wack-a-doodles' out of state Capitol, Manhart appears to be on the non-wack-a-doodle list. He was at the governor's signing of an anti-transgender athlete bill (via Instagram):
However, Dakota Free Press pointed out on Thursday that there may be another problem facing the young Republican:
Manhart Voted in Wisconsin in 2021, Thus Ineligible to Run for South Dakota House in 2022 https://t.co/pQuDdUYhGm

What's that all about?
Cory Allen Heidelberger notes:
Republican candidate for District 1 House Logan Manhart is likes to lie about the 2020 election. He is also apparently willing to lie about his qualifications to run for elected office in South Dakota.
Article 3 Section 3 of the South Dakota Constitution requires that individuals wishing to serve as legislators must, among other criteria, have “been a resident of the state for two years next preceding election.” That means that every person running for House or Senate this year must have lived in South Dakota since November 8, 2020. . ..
Logan Manhart moved to Wisconsin in 2019 “to further his education.” In 2020, Manhart campaigned in Wisconsin for Trump. In 2021, Manhart completed a certificate in leadership development and management at Chippewa Valley Technical College in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. (Note: the leadership development certificate requires six credits; the supervisory management certificate requires nine credits. So when Manhart says he graduated with a “certificate degree,” he may be overstating his credentials.) GOPVictory.com lists Manhart as the organizer of a Republican mobilization/strategy/get-out-the-vote meeting at the Eau Claire County GOP office in Eau Claire on September 4, 2021 . . .
Among whatever tasks Manhart busied himself with between politicking and packing in Eau Claire, he appears not to have included canceling his Wisconsin voter registration. Manhart still comes up as an active voter in Wisconsin’s online voter database . . .
. . . This online report is not an error: in an email to Dakota Free Press this morning, Eau Claire City Clerk Carrie Riepl confirms that Logan Manhart voted in the four Wisconsin elections listed in the screencap above: February 18, 2020; August 11, 2020; November 3, 2020; and April 6, 2021.
April 6, 2021, was nineteen months, less than two years, before the 2022 general election. . . .
