Primary Day Open Thread

By Frances Langum — June 12, 2018

We'll be updating this post as results come in. If you voted in any of the states holding elections today, how did it go? What are you and your neighbors hoping for today?

Primary election open thread below...

UPDATE:

Gov. LePage, behaving like the assh*le he is, has declared he probably won't certify the results from Maine's ranked choice voting. Never mind what the people want...Paul LePage isn't down for it. I'm not sure I'm a fan of ranked choice, but if that is how the election is structured, he has a duty to certify it.

Looks like Jennifer Wexton (D) is poised for a rout in #VA10 primary. That means Dems will have nominated women in 4/4 of VA's vulnerable GOP seats.

Dems PICK-UP a state Senate district in Wisconsin! Democrat Caleb Frostman wins by 3% in #SD1, a district Trump had carried by 17%.

This is WI Dems' 2nd Senate pick-up *this year.* Remember: Scott Walker had refusing to call a special election here until courts compelled him to.

Another seat flipped from red to blue. Democrat Caleb Frostman is the first Dem in 40+ years to win Wisconsin’s 1st Senate District. Huge 21-point swing from Trump’s 2016 performance. This is why Gov. Scott Walker desperately tried to block this special election from happening.
