Dakota Duplicity

Here’s an interesting piece from NRO by Byron York on voting irregularities in South Dakota and Johnson’s curious, last-minute win. On Wednesday, I was blogging that the last remaining precinct was in Hamlin County, in the northeast of the state. York says it was Shannon County, an Indian reservation in the west and clear across the state (here’s a map of South Dakota’s counties). My answer came from the Office of the Secretary of State for South Dakota, which had up-to-the-minute, county-by-county returns. When I looked, at about 10:15am yesterday, that was the only county with outstanding precincts. I wonder which of us was right (him, I hope).

I guess they must have already counted the absentee ballots in South Dakota, alas.
