Should be about done. Watch for disqualification coming for Dems. Senate appears to already be 63% won for the GOP.

@SoDakCampaigns

I think we’re finally about done in term of candidates coming in.  Here’s the Senate List, with a few interesting primaries, and largely dull general election prospects. Mainly because Democrats conceded so, so many seats.  9 out of 35 seats have no race at the moment (Bolded), although there could be an Independent or Libertarian who will lose in the general election.

An incredible 13 Senate seats appear to be headed for a decision at the primary ballot box (in Red), which means that between the races highlighted 63% of the State Senate will be signed and done in June, and held by Republicans.

Although, my spies tell me that we’re going to see a big challenge & disqualification for Democrats coming up pretty quick. It may be closer to 66% by the time the day is done. Stay tuned.

  1. Doesn’t this just mean that the extreme minority party is doing what mafias do in the US? They just take their game to the other party and pretend ala Mitt Romney.

  2. Priorities are obvious over at DaToker Press when the tokers completely ignore the posting about a supposed opposition party leaving the vast majority of legislative seats go uncontested.

    1. Of course…..herr shortyberger is only interested in personal attacks and bullying over there and the extreme left-wing lunacy. And his obsession with Governor Noem has gone into overdrive and I think it has reached the point where it could be said it’s pathological.

  3. Wow, President Pro Tempore of the Senate being challenged???? What is going on up there in Watertown?

  4. Now that the Democrats finally have their legal weed they just could not get off the couch or out of mom’s basement to field some candidates. Gettin stoned and whining about SD politics is their future.

    1. Oh sure, Libertarians get a decisive win on an issue the party’s been working toward for 50+ years, and you’re all hot to give credit to the Democrats. Laaaaame! 🙂 And thank you, Pat, for at least mentioning the third party.

  5. A lot of new names… look forward to hearing where the candidates stand on the issues
