Election Calcutta

Back again! With primary day just around the corner, the Dakota Town Hall crew gathers a heavyweight panel featuring Jonathan Ellis, Patrick Lally, Pat Powers, and Ryan Budmayr to break down the final sprint in South Dakota’s governor’s race. We get into Toby Doden’s headline-grabbing mailers, the fallout from candidates pushing back on unauthorized endorsements, Tamara Grove’s residency controversy, and the campaign strategies shaping the final days before voters head to the polls. Plus, a deep dive into whether ground game still beats money, media, and Facebook warriors in modern South Dakota politics.

We also hit the best and worst campaign ads of the cycle, the explosion of AI-generated political content, the Sioux Falls mayoral race, and the panel’s final predictions for turnout and the governor’s race itself. From runoff speculation to legislative battles and campaign gossip, this one is packed with last-minute analysis before South Dakota picks its winners and losers.
