Assignment #4

Give your view on the national results and the local results.  Both the candidates and the initiative measures.
Two paragraphs minimum.

Local:  Kristi Noem won the House of Representitives with  153,678 votes.  Dennis Daugaard won Governer with 195,018 votes and John Thune is the Senate. The measure for medical marijuana did not pass with 63% saying no and 37% saying yes. The Admendment K did pass with 79% and  21% saying no. South Dakota is now banning smoking in bars and resturaunts. Some worry about their buisnesses by losing money because smokers will have no where to go. Marijuana cauld be a very good thing to help people with but they looked as it as how people would use it in the bad way. The smoking ban i could go both ways. It would help the people who don't smoke and the people who have their own bars can't smoke. Bars is usualy where all the people go to smoke and they can't anymore, that's kind of not fair to them.

National: Most of the U.S is Republican. In Oklahoma they banned mandatory health care plans, Kansas got gun rights, and in Arizona they said no to have the right to hunt and fish and many more in Arizona. Lots of these new laws will screw people up or do good. Some are dissapointed and some are happy. I guess they and us just have to obey by the new laws.
