SD-01 Special Election Results

Brian Dahle won last Tuesday’s special election in SD-01, and was sworn in eight days later. What I thought was interesting was that with the southern part of the district reporting vote totals earlier, Kevin Kiley led in the returns until over a third of the votes had been cast. The timeline is listed below.

8:25pm – 29.4% of precincts reporting, Kiley leads 59.4 to 40.6.
8:29pm – 33.0% of precincts reporting, Kiley leads 57.4 to 42.6.
8:30pm – 37.8% of precincts reporting, Kiley leads 53.2 to 46.8.
8:39pm – 38.1% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 51.8 to 48.6.
8:42pm – 45.9% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.5 to 47.5.
8:50pm – 46.5% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.6 to 47.4.
8:53pm – 47.6% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.6 to 47.4.
9:06pm – 47.8% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.6 to 47.4.
9:13pm – 54.1% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.6 to 47.4.
9:27pm – 60.7% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.6 to 47.4.
9:37pm – 61.5% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.6 to 47.4.
10:00pm – 66.2% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.8 to 47.2.
10:19pm – 69.8% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 52.9 to 47.1.
10:42pm – 76.3% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 53.5 to 46.5.
12:10am – 100.0% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 53.1 to 46.9.
6/7/19 – 100.0% of precincts reporting, Dahle leads 53.3 to 46.6.
