Karen Wagner was’t able to unseat Sam Marty tonight in District 28B, in the latest race in from the SOS office…

This is the first race tonight that’s in possible recount territory, with a 35 vote margin between 2nd & 3rd place. With modern electronic counting, it’s doubtful that a margin like that can be swung, but we’ll see!

This has been an incredibly tight race, which you might chalk up to support from the Home in areas. John Lake had a strong showing in Potter and Faulk counties, Gosch in Walworth & McPherson, Werner had Campbell, Edmunds & Faulk, and so on.

All things being equal, with all candidates putting forth a good effort, I think this more with the counties that identified with their most local candidate, and simply some of those counties had far more population than others.

There’s a lot of close races tonight…  

Watching these results coming in is driving me nuts….

I cast my ballot in Brookings early this AM for myself for Precinct Committeeman, and for Larry Tidemann for State Senate. Primarily because I want to retain the seat for the GOP in the fall, since Brookings is the biggest swing county in the state.

How about you all? Upon whom did your electoral favors fall today?
