Time to grade last week’s predictions. I’ll start with what I got right. It won’t take long.
I called every statewide winner. In South Dakota, that earns you about as much credit as predicting wind. Things went downhill once I started attaching numbers.
I said 62 percent of registered voters would show up. We got 49.37 percent.
I gave Democrats 12 seats in the state House and four in the state Senate. They got 10 in the House, where an independent also won a seat, and two in the Senate. I had Senate Democrats gaining a seat. They lost one. Other than the direction and the number, I was right on it.
