 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, November 06, 2002 VOL. I Issue 11E THUNE AHEAD OF JOHNSON IN SENATE RACE With 99% of precincts reporting, John Thune is ahead of Incumbant Senator Johnson by about 1000 votes. Election Night coverage was as lively as possible, with computer problems here and there. Davidson County, in fact, blew a computer chip and could not count ballots until another chip could be driven in from Omaha, Nebraska. This Race is to close to call, because a possible mandatory recount takes place if the final result is within 690 votes. Nationally, the Republicans have control of the Senate. There are still three undecided elections are in Minnesota, Lousiana, and of course, South Dakota. U.S. SENATE SOUTH DAKOTA 99% Reporting THUNE R 166,193 50% JOHNSON (I) D 165,115 49% EVANS L 3,048 1% JANKLOW WINS AS PROJECTED The 64 year old William J. "Wild Bill" Janklow has won the lone U.S. House seat from challenger Stephanie Herseth, who while doing respectfully well for a Democrat, still lost by a few thousand votes. Janklow himself said "She'll have quite a career in South Dakota politics, just not now!" U.S. HOUSE SOUTH DAKOTA 99% Reporting JANKLOW R 178,977 54% HERSETH D 151,397 45% BEGAY L 3,087 1% DISCUSSION LIVELY AT PONDEROSA After E.E. Hinkle went to bed last night there was quite a debate brewing in his house. It got loud at times, but not enough for him to hear anything.
