39. Why are the actual results 51/49 and CNN calls for Diedrich?

[Ediacara]

41. That link you posted is from 2002

Janklow vs Herseth

[Jack Rabbit]

43. Beats me

The post below links to a story about the 2002 election when Janklow defeated Herseth.

CNN is a Fox wannabe, so they call for Diedrich.

Maybe they consulted Diebold instead of the voters.

50. If I've worked this out right

Herseth has about a 3000 vote lead with 6000 yet to be counted.

13. Thanks for the updates DinoBoy! Let's hope it keeps...

... and there's no Diebold effect.

[MidwestTransplant]

5. How many for Nader

Just kidding. I just thought since he likes to spoil elections he may try to do this one too!

[Ediacara]

7. LOL

Better get on your welding suit, you're about to get flamed..... though god only knows why people continue to defend the man....

[ncrainbowgrrl]

22. LOL.

No flames coming from this DUer! :hi:

[alcuno]

14. Whose seat was vacated?

Is this for that DUI GOPer?

[Ediacara]

16. Yes, this is the special election to replace Janklow...

...for the rest of his term. Herseth and Diedrich will run against eachother again in the November general election.

[Teddy_Salad]

27. The repubs definitely going to call for a recount if he goes down

Failing that, I'm sure the US Supreme Court will select him as the winner, claiming that a win by Herseth would cause the repub damages. :eyes:

[Ediacara]

29. This is a special election for the remainder of Janklow's term

These two face off again in the general in six months. I think they'll probably wait it out, and try again next time....

[Teddy_Salad]

30. Oh, I never realised that.....Thanks for that info!
