It's hard to even post about this yet, I still feel like my heart got ripped out yesterday morning. All the blood, sweat, and tears and we lost. It might not have been so bad even if we got beat by a landslide, but to get beat by 500 votes feels awful. America still won, in the larger picture, and in SD, Repubs won every other election of consequence, but this one will be hard to get over. If fraud is found on the res, it needs to be exposed.

The main thing I'm concerned about here is a full investigation of alleged voter fraud--it they find it, it needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I'm SICK of these crooked Scumocrats and their ballot box stuffing.

SoDak-
I too am extremely upset about this. Mr. Thune is handling it with a lot of class. If it does go to a recount, I am certain that we will show the country how it can be done professionaly. That being said, I will simply paste a copy of my post to another thread (Johnson bragging about getting out the Native vote) :


First they commit vote fraud, now they brag about it. "100% voter registration in the precinct" my @ss.

As a resident of SD I am ashamed of those so-called "Republican" whores that sold their vote to try and keep Daschle in power. The fraud, which everyone knew about before the election, could have been easily overcome if those who got greedy would have voted their principles instead. Now we are stuck with Johnson and Daschle for at least 2 years.

I have made many calls to Thune's office asking that they force the issue after the canvassing is completed, but I seriously doubt they will. My only hope now is that he will run against Daschle in 2 years and the whores will redeem themselves with a real vote.

Sorry, but ( 25% of the Republicans in So uth Dakota are

If fraud is found on the res, it needs to be exposed.

This story doesn't even mention the FBI investigation about the irregularities with the Absentee Ballot applications on the Indian Reservations!

It has to be difficult for you right now, but just think of how you're going to feel in two years when the President takes South Dakota in a landslide re-election and Thune takes Daschle's seat. Better days are coming, for you, for John Thune and for America.

And regardless of the outcome of this particular race, there are a whole lot of us who can't even begin to thank you enough for your efforts. People like yourself are the reason Republicans took back the Senate on Tuesday.

Thank you.
