What Went Down In The June 21 Elections In Alabama, Virginia And Georgia
We’re up to 12 percent reporting in the Republican runoff for Alabama secretary of state, and Wes Allen is leading Jim Zeigler 66 percent to 34 percent. This election will essentially determine who oversees the 2024 presidential election in the state, but no matter who wins, it will be someone who has expressed sympathy with Trump’s false claims of widespread voter fraud.
And it’s looking like things are wrapping up in Virginia’s 7th District. ABC News reports that Vega is projected to win the Republican nomination for the seat. With 89 percent of the vote reporting, she’s leading with 29 percent of the vote. She’ll go up against incumbent Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger in November.
