— Larry Rhoden wins Republican nomination for governor in South Dakota. According to Fox News, The Associated Press called the race for Rhoden within minutes of final polls closing. He had received 70.5 percent of the vote compared with Doeden’s 29.5 percent at the time it was called, with approximately 25 percent of the expected vote counted. It was the first time the primary election was determined by a runoff. The special election was necessitated after neither candidate received the necessary 35 percent required to receive the nomination outright in the June Primary Election, with Doeden receiving 30.6 percent followed by Rhoden at 25.2 percent.
