Why do South Dakotans split their vote? They consistently vote for the Republican presidential candidate every time, but they also routinely elect Democrats for their senators. James Abourezk, George McGovern and Tom Daschle are past examples.
“Why do South Dakotans split their vote?”
I think the days of the Dakotas splitting their votes is over. For decades they voted Republican and the presidential level and yet had four democrats between them, mostly due to the older generations voting in the incumbents time and again.
Indiana used to be like that. They believed bayh was conservative. At least compared to lugar.
Great! 🙁 That’s all we need...digging the hole a little deeper into the abyss of no return....America is truly screwed! Our only salvation for our country is IF God intervenes in all this mess. Prayer and on our knees is what God is seeking after.
South Dakota splits their votes because they don’t let a good republican win the primary. I think this is the year to elect and promote real republicans. We need people who are both serious and conservative. We do not need a half and half RINO we do not need a guy who talks conservative but governs for his own popularity or shills for some business. Beware the guy that the media likes. He will never be the best one.
