Thune's lead expected to increase
SD elections site ^ | Self

Posted on 11/02/2004 8:23:40 PM PST by trackman

As of this posting, Thune is leading by over 2000 votes with 490 of 827 precincts reported. What people should realize is that SD is in two time zones. The western half votes overwhelmingly Republican...especially Pennington county. The 2nd largest city in SD as well as Edwards Air Force base are located in Pennington. None of these 46 precincts have reported, meaning Thune stands a very good chance of increasing his lead.

Here's the site for the specifics of each county:

Again, the western half is typically Republican, though not as populous as the eastern half. But, most of the eastern half has reported. They're on central time zone, and the counties west of the Missouri river are on Mountain time zone. The western half is about an hour delayed. I think Thune will pull this off.

Martinez is hanging by a thread in Florida. I think the uncounted votes are likely to break pretty evenly.

You are correct. Edwards AFB (formerly Muroc Dry Lake) is in CA. The former Rapid City Army Air Corp field is now named Ellsworth AFB and is home base to the B-1 Lancer bombers. Nice base.

Yeah, actually, it's Ellsworth. Sorry about that.

Minnehaha precincts have virtually all been counted (all precincts but one) That's the county that included Sioux Falls which is by far the largest city in SD and is where Daschle gets most of his support. The Indian reservations will vote for Daschle, but there's not a lot of population on the reservations.

Thune up by about 3000 now.

He will need to be up 5000+ plus to ward off the indian reservation fraud.

You can bet Daschle has thousands of fraudulent votes rising out from those remote reservations.

Let's hope the repubs have learned to hold back a few good precincts until after the reservation vote comes in.

If I remember right - wasn't Thune up against Johnson last time until they Dems figured out what they needed for the win and then the Indian Reservation vote came in in the numbers they needed to put Tim Johnson back in the Senate...I suspect Tommy has the wherewithall to put those deceased Indians back in the voting booth!!

560/827 precincts in.

The later precincts are typically strong Republican. The reservation votes come in at very, very end. Like I said, he will need to be up at least 5000+ to fend off the reservation fraud. That's how they won 2002. Thune had it, and amazingly, 3000 votes came in off of an indian reservation at 3:00AM to give Tim Johnson the win. Utterly ridiculous, and they'll try it again.
