On today's show …

The voters have decided. The unofficial results are in. Today on In the Moment, our Dakota Political Junkies join us for an hour of in-depth analysis.

The rhetoric over voter fraud has fueled distrust in ballot-counting machines. SDPB's CJ Keene joins us to report on how election integrity suspicions impacted the count in Tripp County.

We'll talk about Governor Noem's decisive victory over challenger Jamie Smith and Senator Thune's historic return to Washington.

In the South Dakota legislature, Democrats lost one seat in the House and gained one in the Senate. How is redistricting playing out across South Dakota?

We'll also look ahead at a call for Republicans to open their supermajority caucus. What abortion legislation can we expect to come out of Pierre? And how does early voting play out when lawmakers are accused of crimes?

Lori Walsh is a special correspondent with SDPB and host of the "In the Moment" podcast.
