• Governor's race also goes to a run-off. The theme of the night Tuesday was "run-off." The Republican primary will also go to a run-off as current Gov. Larry Rhoden and challenger Toby Doeden face off to determine who will make the general election in November. The winner of that race will then face democratic challenger Dan Ahlers. South Dakota Searchlight has the breakdown.
  • Rounds, Jackley handily win Congressional primary. U.S. Sen. Mike Rounds is one step closer to returning to Washington D.C. after clinching the Republican vote in the primary election on Tuesday. He'll face democratic candidate Julian Beaudion and independent Brian Bengs in November. And with no incumbent in the state's lone U.S. House seat as Rep. Dusty Johnson seeks the governor's seat, Republican voters elected Attorney General Marty Jackley to face democratic challenger Nicki Gronli in the general election in November.
  • 🍎Incumbents win-out in school board. Sioux Falls voters clearly showed support for the direction the Sioux Falls School District is headed by rejecting challengers who wanted to do away with opt-out funds, which make up about $11 million annually in the district. Incumbents Marc Murren, Gail Swenson and Dawn Marie Johnson will serve another term.
    • Meanwhile, down in Harrisburg, incumbent Mike Knudsen also hung onto his seat. He'll be joined by newcomer Tara Young, who saw 41% of the vote.
  • Voters agree to fix typo. Voters agreed to pass all five charter amendments Tuesday night, including Amendment E, which corrected a typo in the charter. The two closest contests were on Amendment C, which will allow an elected councilor to take a city job without the required waiting period, provided they get a waiver from the Board of Ethics, and Amendment D, which provides more flexibility for the council to raise its own salary.
