南达科他州2027年议会共和党占近九成 无党派选民占25.1%却无以无党派身份当选者之外的席位
南达科他州2027年州议会的党派构成已经出炉。105个席位中，按选票上的参选身份计，共和党拿下92席、民主党12席，另有1席由以无党派身份参选的候选人赢得；若按当选人的选民登记党派归类，共和党为93席、民主党12席。共和党在参众两院均握有超过三分之二的多数：参议院33席对2席，众议院共和党59席、民主党10席、无党派1席。
这一构成与全州选民的党派分布差距明显。据州务卿选民登记数据，共和党登记选民占全州选民的52.8%，民主党占21.5%，无党派选民占25.1%。
众议院第27选区的埃文杰琳·普尔·贝尔（Evangeline Poor Bear）以无党派身份出现在选票上并当选，是2010年以来首位以无党派身份当选州议员的人。她本人向媒体表示，自己认同共和党，是因为错过了党派提名截止日期才以无党派身份参选；州务卿登记记录也显示她登记为共和党人。按这一归类，无党派选民在新一届议会中没有以本党派身份当选的代表。
今年大选南达科他州投票率跌破50%，为1964年有记录以来的最低水平。新一届议会将于2027年1月12日在皮埃尔（Pierre）开会。
Republicans Take Nearly Nine in Ten Seats in South Dakota's 2027 Legislature While Independents, 25.1% of Voters, Win One Seat
The party makeup of South Dakota's 2027 state legislature is set. Of the 105 seats, counting candidates by the affiliation on their ballots, Republicans won 92 seats, Democrats 12, and one seat went to a candidate who ran as an independent; counting legislators by their voter-registration party, the split is 93 Republicans and 12 Democrats. Republicans hold more than two-thirds of both chambers: 33-2 in the Senate, and in the House 59 Republicans, 10 Democrats and one independent.
The makeup diverges sharply from the state's voter registration. According to Secretary of State registration data, Republicans make up 52.8% of registered voters, Democrats 21.5%, and independents 25.1%.
Evangeline Poor Bear, elected to the House from District 27, appeared on the ballot as an independent and is the first candidate elected to the legislature as an independent since 2010. She told reporters she aligns with Republicans and ran as an independent because she missed the partisan filing deadline; Secretary of State records also list her registration as Republican. On that basis, independent voters have no legislator elected under an independent label speaking for their registration bloc as such.
Turnout in this year's general election fell below 50%, the lowest since records began in 1964. The new legislature convenes in Pierre on January 12, 2027.
