A recount is likely after the city is able to canvas the votes and certify the results.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Christine Erickson is two votes ahead of Jamie Smith, the Minnehaha County Auditors and Elections Office said. Sioux Falls is South Dakota&#8217;s largest city, with over 210,000 people. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siouxfalls.gov\/government\/council\/city-clerk\/elections\/results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">With all precincts reporting<\/a>, Smith had received 18,278 votes, and Erickson had received 18,280 votes.<\/p>\n<p>After the certification, either candidate can petition for a recount, which will automatically be granted if the difference in votes is less than 2%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Erickson is a former member of the South Dakota House of Representatives, having Erickson championed safety as her primary concern in Sioux Falls throughout her campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Smith is a current state senator for South Dakota and also was the Democratic nominee in 2022 for governor. Smith ran on a campaign based around public safety, economic development, collaborative decision-making. He touted endorsements from South Dakotan politicians on both sides of the aisle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both candidates have expressed their commitment to ensuring a fair election, and a trust in the recount process. Erickson said in a statement that her team plans to move forward with &#8220;accuracy and transparency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to work hard to make sure that if I received more votes after the after we do a recount, that the right persons in that office based upon what the people wanted,&#8221; Smith told CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>In a phone interview with CBS News, Smith said &#8220;this is an example to everybody in the country that a lot of times people, you know, think that their vote just doesn&#8217;t matter, and this is an example where it shows you that every vote matters, and so you know just to participate and get out there and vote is really important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a\u00a0 news release Erickson said &#8220;I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to lead Sioux Falls forward for the next four years.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both candidates have been keeping up the momentum as they head toward a recount.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even though the polls have closed, the fight continues. We know there will be a recount and I feel confident going into this next phase,&#8221; Erickson added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not over &#8217;til it&#8217;s over,&#8221; Smith
