State candidates share views  While both vowed to uphold the
integrity of South Dakota's election process, two candidates for
secretary of state drew some stark differences in their beliefs
during a debate in Yankton last Thursday.  Jason Gant, a
33-year-old Republican and former state legislator from Sioux
Falls, faced off against Ben Nesselhuf, a 35-year-old Democrat
and former legislator from Vermillion, at a forum sponsored by
the South Dakota Farmers Union.  Lori Stacey, the 46-year-old
Constitution Party candidate from Sioux Falls, was not in
attendance, and it was not clear if she was invited to the
event.  The three candidates are vying for the position held by
Republican Chris Nelson, who has served two consecutive four-
year terms and is term-limited.  The event, held at Yankton's
Technical Education Center, also included a brief forum with the
District 18 legislative candidates.  Gant and Nesselhuf were
divided on their views as to whether they would encourage the
Legislature to pass legislation tha
