Do you remember what county it was that came in extremely late reportedly due to a power outage?

"Republican Congressman John Thune led Democratic Senator Tim Johnson as of 2:00am mountain time Wednesday morning in the race for Johnson's seat in the United States Senate. With 785 of 844 precincts reporting, Thune led Johnson 159,252 to 156,038. Libertarian Kurt Evans was a distant third with 2,910 votes. Ballot counting problems slowed the tallying of some returns in the eastern part of the state."

That's what I have found so far. Eastern part of the state.

I think it was Hamlin County. (Sorry if someone answered already, I haven't read all the way down.)

I believe you're thinking about Davison County whose county seat is Mitchell. They had an equipment breakdown (computer) & couriered in the repair parts (I think it was an EPROM).

If my memory isn't betraying me, this was initially reported as a power failure.

Now for the good part. Final voting tally for Davison shows an almost equal split between Thune & Johnson. This surprised me as I thought Davison was solidly Republican.

BTW, I don't have to see a skunk to know it's there. But I do need to see it to kill it!
