What Country Is That In?

What Country Is That In? - South Dakota Politics points out an example what what is either bad fact-checking or coastal myopia about "flyover land":

"Firing [Governor Davis] would be a remarkable step, a notion that has been lost in the hurly-burly of the headlong campaign. California has never recalled a governor. In the history of the United States, it has happened only once, in 1921 in South Dakota."

SoDakPol points out, as I did last week - it was North Dakota.

Note to the LA Times; one is north of the other. The other is to the south. And for whatever reason, despite their location and similar spelling, they are indeed two states separated by a common name.
