Kristie Noem (R) was loosing ground consistently in the first 250 precincts counted, but then turned around and has been (mostly) gaining in remaining precincts.

NOW MOVES INTO THE LEAD.

Go Kristie!

now about 3200 in the lead!

Good news!

[Baladas]

Good, one less Soros plant state to worry about if she wins.

[St. Louis Conservative]

I REALLY hope Noem holds on. This would be a nice trophy seat for the GOP. Herseth-Sandlin is considered one of the Dems rising stars, and she has no business representing an R+20 district.

How can i move this to front page news?

[GQuagmire]

Ahem, Rules!(Humor me. me and by FRiends in MA got kicked in the nuts tonight)

[montag813]

Nice work in MS Excel there F.U.E.!

[Pardon Me]

No results from Todd and Shannon counties in South Dakota. This is Indian Country and favors dems heavily. Keeping my fingers crossed that the gains in Pennington can outweigh the losses from the reservation!

“This is Indian Country and favors dems heavily”

This is “Oats for Votes Country” that the DemocRats bought off

there, fixed it for ya :)

For those Freepers not familiar with South Dakota; the state is somewhat philosophically divided between the east and the west with Liberals more concentrated in the East and Conservatives more concentrated in the West. This is roughly matched by the Missouri River physical divide in the middle of the state and a similar time zone divide. So the eastern Liberal vote comes in earlier than the western Conservative vote.

This is not exact. And Democrat vote fraud comes at the end from late reporting Democrat counties throughout the state once they know how many votes to fake. That's how Tom Dashle and Tim Johnson were elected.

So as the western SD vote comes in Kristi should do well. It's just a matter of whether she does well enough to exceed the margin of fraud.

Great news. I saw her early numbers and my heart sank. Glad to see things turn around. Keep an eye out here in Washington. Rossi needs has some catching up to do.

Come on FOX NEWS, ...Only 1 more precint left!

They can't steal this one. SoDakota is much smaller than Minnesota, and this lead is 10x bigger than at the start of the Franken 'steal'!

Correction, the S.O.S has called it! They CHECKMARKED THE WINNERS. FINAL COUNTS ARE IN!

[Future Useless Eater]

Could you please UPDATE this title?

The S O S has called it for Kristi Noem with ALL RESULTS IN and she maintained a lead of 7222 votes.

[SeattleBruce]

Sweet! Congrats on the clean sweep!!

[My Favorite Headache]

Thank God...was worried about this about 2 hrs ago. Chalk another one up!

I’d have to disagree a little. When Noem was up by about a thousand votes with half the precincts reporting it was over. Even with reservation fraud a dem has to be at least even and usually a few thousand ahead coming out of east river country. I told my wife to expect Noem’s lead to slowly widen for the rest of the night, just like I told nervous GOP friends to relax when Thune was down a bit coming out of East River 6 yrs ago.

Remember how Daschle needlessly kept us up late? He knew dang well he was toast before a single west river vote was counted, and so did miss perky tonight. It had to be painful for perky to pretend she could win this race for all those hours tonight, just as it was for old Tom. I popped champagne early that night and tonight as well. I’m one ecstatic west river ex-pat right now.

Two down, one to go...
