Rebublicans have taken over. In all of the major elections in South Dakota, all rebublicans took the spots. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this because I am Democrat but I think maybe this could be good for South Dakota. Change is sappose to be good isn't it? The House of Representatives also changed for majority Democrat to Republican. It is deffenitly going to be interesting to see how well the House will work with a Democratic excutive branch.
Locally the race was pretty close for the House seat. Herseth-Sandlin had the majority of the votes for the east side of the state but then when the west sides votes came in, Noem had it. I was suprised to see how many votes Marking, the independent candidate, had. My feelings for why he had so many is becasue some people didn't want either Herseth-Sandlin or Noem because they campaigned so negativly against eachother.
