Minnehaha County Auditor Leah Anderson still had not completely reported the county’s results as of mid-afternoon Wednesday .

Anderson blamed the delay on the number of voters, limited staffing and the timing of absentee voting.

Anderson , a Republican , has been a lightning rod for criticism since taking office in 2022 .

Anderson said the county only reports results to the secretary of state when “ about five ” precincts have been fully counted.

That process pushed initial reporting well into late Tuesday night .

Anderson filed an affidavit in pursuit of a court order after a tabulation machine jammed.

She said some ballots affected by the jam were not counted because the number of counted ballots did not match the total number of cast.
