Somehow, I think more than 50 people voted in the D32 House race…  The election system is just not having a good day.

The Associated Press has called it.
With over 90% of the vote in, Kristi Noem is going to be the South Dakota Republican nominee for Governor!

District 25 stuck with incumbents tonight re-electing Kris Langer to the Senate, Tom Pischke to the House and John Hansen in a return bid to the House:

Sorry for the reboot – the SDWC is getting a bit of traffic tonight.  We’re waiting for Minnehaha county to report, so there’s a lot undecided in the races.  However, I think the SDWC Election center can project the Congressional race at this point:

With 70% of the precincts in, I think we can safely name the Republican nominee for Congress as Dusty Johnson!

I’m picking up a race here and there – first result of the night is District 5 State Senate, via local radio (KWAT). Lee Schoenbeck had a comfortable lead of 600 votes winning the race at 1982 votes, versus Byron Callies at 1379.

Anyone catching any other races?

From Facebook:

And from State Law:

SDCL 12-20-17. Returns not disclosed until all polls in state closed. No public disclosure of the returns of state and federal elections in any primary or general election is permitted until each precinct polling place in the state is closed. This provision applies to each precinct polling place within the state.

What does that mean?

It means we’re not going to see any results until about the 10pm news.
