I’m probably completely off on my predictions but here’s my best shot;
District 13 House
Peterson & Sullivan
District 9 House
SABA and Peters
Minnehaha County Commission
Heiberger, Barth and Gronoli
Attorney General
Seiler (While there hasn’t been any polling on this, I think it will be a close race. With all of the experience that Seiler has, I just don’t see how Jason can beat him).
US Congress
Johnson
Governor
Tie (I know that is cop out, but I’m having trouble calling this one. A few days ago I would have given it to Noem, but I just think it is too close to call).
Amendments and Initiatives
‘W’ Passes, all others fail (but I think all of the measures will be very close)
I heard a rumor from a good old Democrat, who use to be in the thick of things, that internally Seiler is doing better than Sutton… If true, that’s a new one…. Only in ’36 did the SD Democratic AG candidate win without the SD Democratic gubernatorial nominee winning, or do better than the gubernatorial nominee…. I guess we’ll see…
Legislature in Minnehaha: Democratic wins will be Scott Petersen (12) and Sheryl Johnson (11). (And Ahlers in 25 too. He’s an incumbent)
Opie will be our next congressman.
Governor: I feel as though the Sutton momentum has stopped in the last week. I think its actually his to lose and had the election been held earlier in the fall, he would have won, but the growing closest favors Noem, I am afraid….. There is a blue wave to some degree in SD, but there is also a massive red wall in this state….
County Commission: Two Republicans and a Democrat…(“walked into a bar…..”)
they go by the r not if the canidate is good enough.
