How Election Week 2022 Went Down

Really striking number in the preliminary exit poll results in Michigan (which are incomplete and can, of course, change) — almost half of voters in the state said that abortion was the most important issue driving their vote, way above the national number for this question. That’s especially worth underscoring because Michigan voters are deciding whether to enshrine abortion rights in their state constitution today.

The polls are closed in Mississippi, and I’m watching the state’s 4th District, where Republican Mike Ezell is expected to win. He’s the former Jackson County sheriff who ousted incumbent Rep. Steven Palazzo in the primary. Republicans are expected to win three of the four House races in the state.

Also in Arkansas, ABC News projects that Republican incumbent Rep. French Hill will also hold onto his seat in the 2nd District.
