Kansas Upheld Abortion Rights And Other Key Updates From The Aug. 2 Elections

In the “also ran” category tonight we have (possibly) Q himself. Ron Watkins is the former administrator of 8kun, one of the message boards where “Q,” the shadowy figure behind the QAnon conspiracy theory, posts their cryptic messages. And there’s a convincing argument to be made that Watkins himself was behind the Q account. But any clout he gained among the QAnon crowd isn’t going far. He’s currently in last place with 3 percent of the vote in Arizona’s 2nd District. (Something he, earlier tonight on his election live stream, said he hoped wouldn’t happen: “That would be terrible.“)

We have the first few votes coming in for the Republican and Democratic primaries in Arizona’s 6th District, but we will hopefully have more soon. On the Democratic side, Engel has a slight lead with 11 percent of the expected vote reporting, while Ciscomani has an early lead on the Republican side with 13 percent reporting.

In the GOP primary for Arizona’s 4th District, Kelly Cooper leads Tanya Wheeless 30 percent to 25 percent with about 60 percent of the expected vote reporting. This district got redder in redistricting, and the GOP is hoping to knock off Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton as a result.
