United States presidential election in South Dakota, 2016 (New Johannson Scenario)



The 2016 United States presidential election in South Dakota took place on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 United States presidential election. South Dakota voters chose four electors, or representatives, to the Electoral College, who then voted for President and Vice President.

South Dakota was won by incumbent President Edward H. Johannson (R-Minnesota), running with Vice President Neel Kashkari, with 60.74% of the popular vote, against Governor John C. Dickenson (D-Georgia), running with Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster, with 39.26% of the popular vote. All counties in the state voted in majority for the Republicans. Nevertheless, South Dakota did weigh in as 0.82% more Democratic than the national average, one of only Midwestern states (besides Indiana), to do so.
