Heidi! also lucked out with massive fraud on the Indian reservations, which put her over the top, Berg is entitled to be called a Senator-elect until the term expires.
An aside, I was looking at the SOUTH Dakota counties and saw one called “Oglala Lakota” and I went WTF, Shannon county changed it’s name. Lame. Seems like local tribal leaders decided they wanted to diss the man it was named for, Peter Shannon. THe law seems to say that the state leg and Governor had to go along with it after county voters apporoved it, “the legislature “shall” pass a resolttion approving it”. A few in the leg voted no anyway, I’d have joined them, stop voting 86% rat and maybe I “shall” care about your opinions.
Reservations should have been abolised and Indians assimilated long ago. I have cousins that are part Ho Chunk, they and their mom get free money from the casinos, a lot of money, patently uncool unless you let me run a card parlor or something whereever I want.
Meh, no skin off my teepee if they want so badly to rename it. It’s strange it didn’t bear the name of the tribe there, actually. It’s not a formally organized county, anyhow, and has no county seat (business is done in the adjacent county of Fall River). Both Dakotas created more counties than should’ve been and they had to dissolve some of them when some were in areas that hardly had people.
It’s noted that Shannon/Oglala Lakota is the poorest county in the nation. A premier example of what happens when the government “takes care” of you.
Shannon has gone, I heard. She’s drifted out to sea.
“Reservations should have been abolised and Indians assimilated long ago.”
Great idea!!!
