Kansas Upheld Abortion Rights And Other Key Updates From The Aug. 2 Elections
Votes are coming in fast: Engel is leading in the Democratic primary for Arizona’s 6th District with 94 percent of the vote reporting. Engel is a law professor who has served in the state legislature.
In Arizona’s 1st District, incumbent GOP Rep. David Schweikert leads insurance company founder Elijah Norton 44 percent to 34 percent, with 77 percent of the expected vote already reporting. Norton went after Schweikert for his various ethics scandals, including a fine by the FEC for campaign violations and ethics violations handed down by the House Ethics Committee. Norton also had a big fundraising advantage thanks to his personal wealth. But Schweikert and his allies criticized Norton for running an insurance company that allegedly defrauded customers. They even sent out mailers to voters that implied Norton was gay, which prompted a lawsuit by another man pictured in the mailer.
Along with Finchem, multiple candidates who denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election are currently leading their races in Arizona. This includes Masters, currently leading in the GOP race for senate. Masters has said, “I think Trump won in 2020,” and that election officials and the media “conspired to manipulate the 2020 election.” Masters has 34 percent of the vote.
