Go Potter County! It helps when you have several campaigns eager to do the legwork to earn your vote. I had a lot of candidates stop by, which in a district as physically large as 23 is impressive; it is appreciated.
Potter County 51%, Campbell 46% and Harding 46%. Democrat strongholds of Oglala Lakokta 10%, Union County 14%, and Beadle County 14%.
What does that say?
Pennington more votes than Minnehaha is interesting.
Including rhino Howie voting Socialist.
I wonder what the percentages would have been if the election was held in February? A full slate of 14 republican Presidential candidates would have made for an interesting election. Would Trump still have won the State? As for lower turnout in dem strongholds, what did they have to vote for? Only thing on ballot was President in most of them. Since they couldn’t mark none of the above, they just didn’t vote.
