On October 11, 2017, Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Lora Hubbel sent out a press release claiming Lederman's Iowa voter registration was still in force. [26] In reporting the story, the media noted that Hubbel had changed parties herself a few months earlier. [27] In an interview with KELO radio, South Dakota Secretary of State Shantel Krebs indicated that since Lederman used "Dan Lederman" when he originally registered in Iowa and "Daniel Isaac Lederman" when registering in South Dakota, the name was not removed from the Iowa voter roll at the time, because it " would not be an exact match and wouldn't have been caught in the de-duplicating process that Secretary of States use." [28] Lederman responded to the candidate's criticism in an op-ed released to the media the following day titled "OK to change parties in America. [29]
