Elcection Results.

I think it is interesting to see all of the voting results. Some of the races are very close and other races were very far apart. The majority of the races won were won by republicans. They now have control of the house. i am glad that the republicans won most of the races. i feel like it is going to be a good thing. I voted for mainly republicans because i felt that they were the best choice for South Dakota.
            I am glad to see that Kristi Noem won over stephanie herseth. both of these canidates spent lots of money on campainging, i think they almost spent to much on it. All of the dirt slinging that went on between these two i didnt think was nessaciry. i think they lost votes over that. In a campaing add i think they should say what they are going to do different over there component, not talk bad about them.
