EAGLE BUTTE (AP) - A recount in a tribal primary election on Cheyenne River Indian Reservation has changed the order of two candidates who were one vote apart.
Seventeen people sought the office of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribal chairman. The current officeholder, Harold Frazier, received the most votes and advanced to the tribe's Nov. 7 general election.
Preliminary results indicated that Frank Thompson finished in second place for the right to challenge Frazier, but the recount showed that Joseph Brings Plenty had two more votes than Thompson, putting Brings Plenty on the general-election ballot.
