Distinguishing between conservatives and RINOs is important too (and the chances of winning in November, when it actually counts), and not just some generic desire for "rotation" when evaluating a set of election results involving people you've never even heard of before today.

In this case, nearly all South Dakota legislators (not to mention U.S. senators and congressmen) qualify as RINOs. Hunhoff is one of the worst, so good riddance. Tordsen, among the losers, was the closest thing to a non-RINO.

Tordsen's seat in the southeastern part of Sioux Falls is also the one (among the 4 losers) which is NOT pretty much totally safe in November. It's still reasonably safe, but not a complete slam-dunk (only rated as R+5).
