Utterly confusing table
The table at the end of the article, mentioning several politicians including Kamala Harris and Kristi Noem, and mentioning some things about precedence, is utterly confusing.

I stared at it for five minutes and have no idea what it is there for, or what information is actually contained in it.

I am sure that it is possible to design a table that is even more worthless than this one.

 * I agree that the "order of precedence" table is unnecessary, and have removed it. Walt Yoder (talk) 23:34, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

"large" software company
In the introduction the adjective "large" is used to describe Great Plains Software, a company that only employed 2,200 and was sold for just over $1 billion. By tech industry standards this is hardly "large". The word comes off as self-serving and is unnecessary. Watari19 (talk) 16:28, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 7 June 2023
I don't know the governor from Adam so I really have no opinion of him. Even so, this small article clearly demonstrates the political biases of WP and its editors. Using semi-subliminal phrases like passed a series of anti-trans laws, then linking it (anti-trans) to "transphobia" shows that it was written by one person, from one person's point-of-view. That is not encyclopedia-like. Knowledgebases are discussed and edited before publishing, not after. That is what makes them useful. Could it have been "laws considered trans-phobic by some" - or something to that effect? No. Are we so afraid that someone might actually soften a stance or make a truly neutral statement? Is that a reason to prohibit editing? We don't know that the governor himself is actually anti-trans. Anti-trans, as used in this article is political speech and should be - re-phrased. 71.215.98.163 (talk) 17:13, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
