It seems that 248 is a to-be-expected number for a Republican in a Senate race in Shannon county

True whilst Dashole as majority leader, however as for your conclusion,
I'll Digress.
248 for a (R) nobody maybe, but Thune had people vote for him before, and 60% of them thought he was no good anymore.
60 % Decrease for Thune,
while the county turnout was 2X????

I was just emphasizing that the Dem vote was too high. The Rep vote was where I would have expected it. Thus, it suggests fraud.
