Wins by 800 votes.
Shannon County - 2856 total votes - 92% voted for Johnson
Todd County - 2027 total votes - 81% voted for Johnson.
THIS CANNOT STAND!!!!!
I'm not sure a recount is going to change the results. It would most likely be just a recounting of the fraudelent votes.
Imagine That! The last of the counties to report have a result totally at odds with the rest of the state...and just enough to put Johnson over the top. What a joke.
THIS CANNOT STAND!!!!!
It better not. The Pubs better get real tough here.
Tommy made sure that his Indians got registered. What surprises me is that as many Republicans apparently voted for the Obstructionist as they did.
I don't think we can reverse this decision, even with a recount, so there you have it.
Which means:
Keep Missing Linc and the other RINO's happy with the Little things (making sure that Chaffee's pet projects get taken care of; giving Specter plenty of face time with the President: it's the little things that count)
Go all out to create a dump-Landreiu coalition in Louisiana. LA is a Bush state. Our candidate down there, Terrel, is a fireeater. Win this thing, no matter what it takes. We must pad this majority.
Stroke Breaux, Ben Nelson, Zig Zag, and other Southern and Western Dems to bring them on board for important votes. Don't hesitate to horsetrade. Take 3/4 of the loaf now to get the whole loaf in 2004. Build a record of achievement.
Put Saddam away: nothing succeeds like success.
That's my input.
Be Seeing You,

As for fraud, the F.B.I. started an invesitgation of vote fraud on the Indian Reservations before the election, has already gathered substantial evidence and made at least one arrest, of a contractor hired by the Democrat Party. As for the recount, it will be down-and-dirty, and bloody.
Last stop is the Senate itself. It is the "sole judge of the ... election of its Members." It can do its own count, and can even reverse the "official" count that comes from S.D. (The House did that in 1984 (?), seating a Democrat when Indiana reported that the Republican had won.)
If Trent Lott has a spinal transplant, or the Republicans have a leadership transplant, Thune will be seated in January, 2003, and that's that.
Congressman Billybob
"We have a squeaky-clean election process here in South Dakota," Tim Johnson, a minute ago on FoxNews. Thune has not conceded. This could get interested. No more concessions to Dem. fraud for the GOP!

What's the source of your info?
Well it looks like you got everything figured out for the next two years. Hope you are right. However, I doubt we will get 3/4 of the loaf now. Not with this president. My expectation is that we might get a 1/4 and if we are lucky in 2 years get another 1/4. And when you mention RINOs I'd put George on that list too...Reagan he is NOT!

AW: This is a 528 vote difference. In a recount, we should see what "quality control" existed on the reservation, etc.
