South Dakota State Senator Tom Pischke is currently facing two felony counts of offering a false or forged instrument for filing. The charges, filed in June 2026, stem from allegations that he falsified 16 candidacy forms for Republican precinct committee positions without the knowledge of the individuals named. Prosecutors cite DNA evidence and surveillance footage linking him to the forged documents. Pischke has pleaded not guilty and is currently in discussions regarding a potential plea deal. Separately, in 2024, Pischke lost his state House floor privileges for part of a session after placing syrup on a colleague’s desk during a dispute over a historical commemoration.
