The Argus Leader reports:
South Dakota Sen. John Thune dispatched his two primary contenders Tuesday with relative ease. Facing his first primary challenge since winning office in 1996, Thune was winning with 73% of the vote as of 10:50 p.m.. Bruce Whalen, had 20% while Mark Mowry had 7%.
Both Whalen, 60, and Mowry, 65, contended that former President Donald Trump had been defrauded in the 2020 presidential election. They criticized Thune for stating that no widespread fraud had been found in the election.
Mowry, from Spearfish, had no previous political experience in the state. The 2020 presidential election outcome so incensed him that he attended the Jan. 6, 2020 protest in Washington, D.C. that saw some protesters riot at the Capitol. He said he did not participate in the riot.

Mowry first gained attention when he claimed that the Christmas Day 2021 bombing in downtown Nashville was related to Dominion’s voting machines.
