In advance of today's filing deadline, the Argus Leader previews South Dakota's eight most competitive Senate races. Republicans control the chamber, 20-15, but Democrats think they have a realistic shot of winning the three they need.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
