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.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

  • you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
  • you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
  • YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
  • you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
  • you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
  • you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
  • you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
  • your comment is in really poor taste.
