Jamestown (CSi) Voter turn out on election day, Tuesday at the Stutsman County polls at the Jamestown Civic Center, was termed, “heavy.’
Josh Smagge says, early in the day, the lines to vote were the longest he’s ever seen.
2,836 people had voted early in Stutsman County with 1,162 through absentee voting, for a total of 3,998 votes. The absentee numbers may increase, if received after election day, with a postmark no later than November 5.
Total votes cast in the 2018 General Election 9703.
33.6 percent voted either Early Voting or Absentee Ballot.
The June primary election had a total of 3,528 voters.
The Secretary of State’s Office says 150,894 people cast ballots in early voting at poll sites or through absentee and vote-by-mail ballots.
The total surpassed those from 2012 and 2016 — both presidential election years in which voter turnout is traditionally higher than in midterm elections like the one this year. In 2016, the number was 134,805. In 2012, it was 136,685.
Voting results on election night are unofficial. The Stutsman County Canvassing Board will certify the election on Tuesday November 13, at 10 a.m. at the Stutsman County courthouse.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republicans once again had their way in North Dakota, punctuated by Kevin Cramer’s victory over Heidi Heitkamp in a highly charged U.S. Senate race and Kelly Armstrong’s quieter but convincing win to fill Cramer’s U.S. House seat.
It didn’t end there. The GOP — along with Republican-turned-independent Secretary of State Al Jaeger — once again swept the state offices and saw a noncitizen voting measure pass after it was put on the ballot in part to counter turnout for an initiative to legalize marijuana.
And the pot measure went down, just two years after voters said yes to medicinal marijuana.
The Democrats were clinging to a couple of bright spots heading into Thursday. A government ethics measure that the Democrats have tried to pass in various forms was leading and Republican House Majority Al Carlson was in third place in the race for two south Fargo spots as the final votes were tallied.
U.S. SENATE
Both the winner and loser in one of North Dakota’s most expensive political battles used similar expressions to summarize their political exploits.
Cramer says the victory was the “honor” of his life. Heitkamp says serving in the Senate was the “highest honor” of her life.
Cramer won by persuading North Dakota voters that his emphatic conservatism would serve them better than her occasional independence from her own party. Heitkamp portrayed herself as an independent who wasn’t afraid to vote against her own party or vote with President Donald Trump.
Heitkamp raised more than $27 million for her re-election campaign. That was almost five times as much as Cramer, who called it a “bunch of money to push a bad message.”
Although the so-called “anti-corruption” measure is sponsored by a bipartisan group, it’s something Democrats have fought unsuccessfully for years to do.
Backers say the measure will add transparency and accountability to government. They raised more than $400,000 to push it, with much of the money coming from left-leaning out-of-state groups.
Opponents argued the state has no ethics problem. In the Republican-led Legislature, leaders said the measure isn’t needed because lawmakers already follow high standards of conduct. The American Civil Liberties Union opposed the measure, saying it restricts political speech and advocacy.
Jolene Vidal, 43, Bismarck, who works for the state Department of Transportation, voted in favor of the measure because she wants to know where “campaign funding is coming from.”
Voters passed a proposal to amend the North Dakota Constitution to explicitly bar non-U.S. citizens from voting. The document already defines a voter as a U.S. citizen, but supporters argue the wording is ambiguous and needs to be clarified.
Gary Emineth, a former state Republican Party chairman, acknowledged that one goal of his proposal was to attract conservative voters to balance liberal voters that might be drawn to the marijuana issue.
Darren Schaefer, 45, who works unloading trucks in Bismarck, voted in favor of the proposal, noting: “I can’t go up to Canada and vote in their elections.”
Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature, and that wasn’t likely to change Tuesday, even with a possible change at the top. Carlson was third behind Republican Michelle Strinden and Democrat Pamela Anderson in District 41.
Republicans to win re-election to state offices were Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring. Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger and Public Service Commission members Randy Christmann and Brian Kroshus.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Some Native Americans in North Dakota had issues Tuesday complying with the state’s voter identification requirements, but advocacy groups and state officials say they are not immediately aware of any widespread problems. A U.S. Supreme Court ruling last month allowed the state to continue requiring street addresses on voter IDs, as opposed to addresses such as post office boxes that many Native Americans have long relied on.

NBA NEWS
Westbrook to sit at least one out
UNDATED (AP) — Russell Westbrook is on the shelf once again, but this could be a short-term absence.
The Oklahoma City Thunder guard will miss Wednesday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers because of a sprained left ankle suffered in Monday’s win over New Orleans. A Thunder spokesman says team wants to see how the ankle responds to treatment for the next few days before providing another update.

In other NBA news:
— Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving has been fined $25,000 by the league for throwing a basketball into the stands after Monday’s loss at Denver. Irving was mad that Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray took a 3-point-shot with the clock winding down when Denver already had put away the game.
— Cavaliers forward Sam Dekker could be out a month with a sprained left ankle suffered in Monday’s loss at Orlando. Dekker’s injury is another blow to the Cavaliers, who are 1-9 this season and are playing at least six weeks without All-Star forward Kevin Love.
— Veteran center Tyson Chandler has signed with the Lakers after reaching a buyout agreement with the Suns two days ago. The 36-year-old Chandler will provide needed frontcourt depth after the Lakers relied on JaVale McGee and undersized forwards to guard big men during their 4-6 start. Chandler is joining his seventh team early in 18 NBA seasons.

Linemate Steven Stamkos furnished a goal and two assists to back Andre Vasilevskiy (va-sih-LEHV’-skee), who stopped 33 shots in winning for the eighth time in 11 starts.
The Maple Leafs kept pace with the Lightning with a 3-1 win over the Golden Knights in Toronto. Connor Brown opened the scoring 5 ½ minutes into the game and assisted on Nazem Kadri’s (NA’-zehm KA’-dreez) empty-netter.
Elsewhere on NHL ice:

NHL-BLACKHAWKS
Quenneville dismissed by Blackhawks
CHICAGO (AP) — The second all-time winningest head coach in NHL history has been shown the door.
Joel Quenneville (KWEHN’-vihl) has been dismissed after 10-plus seasons, three Stanley Cups and 452 wins with the Chicago Blackhawks. He was replaced by Jeremy Colliton, who was promoted from Rockford of the AHL to become the team’s 38th head coach.
Quenneville was a major part of the greatest decade in franchise history, winning three Cups from 2010-2015 to double the team’s all-time total. The 60-year-old Quenneville is 890-532-77 behind an NHL bench, trailing only Scotty Bowman on the all-time wins list.
Colliton was in his second season as head coach of Rockford. He led the IceDogs to a 40-28-4-4 record and a third-round appearance in the playoffs last season.

Mullens led the Niners to a win over the Raiders last Thursday while recording the highest quarterback rating in an NFL debut since the 1970 merger.

He was 10-4 before the All-Star break, but he missed much of the final two months of the regular season due to elbow discomfort.
— The Reds filled out part of manager David Bell’s staff by hiring away hitting coach Turner Ward from the Dodgers and getting former Brewers pitching coach Derek Johnson.

RUSSIAN DOPING-BRIBERY PROBE
Corruption probe launched into Russian biathlon doping
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The International Biathlon Union has launched an investigation into allegations Russia bribed its way out of doping cases, months after police raids led the IBU president to step down.
