Miner county was closest to the 73.88% statewide turnout number, which meant we had some big counties fall below what we saw on an overall statewide basis. Beadle, Davison, Union, Clay & Pennington were all under the line, with Brookings, Minnehaha and Brown just barely over it at around 74% or so.
I’ll be curious to see at some point how this falls out by legislative district.
