None of these state laws have been overturned. I have read some arguments about no taxation without representation. All the states that have an income tax, tax non-residents without extending them voting rights. These tax laws have not been overturned. Likewise, paying sales tax in a state does confer voting rights. If South Dakota chooses to change their laws regarding residency/domicile and voting requirements, I seriously doubt that it would be overturned in the courts.
It effectively denies people the right to vote at their legal residence, for those who have legally established domicile in SD. I doubt that it would survive a constitutional challenge.
