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

Nathaniel, I’m not sure it’s that shocking that the abortion vote in Kansas got way more votes than the gubernatorial primaries — unaffiliated voters could only vote for the constitutional amendment.

We still have next to no results from Michigan’s Detroit-based 13th District, where polls closed three and a half hours ago, and now we know why:

NEW: Wayne Co. confirms they're having issues with their modems. they can't send in their results because they use AT&T, which stopped supporting 3G in the spring. The modems didn't upgrade to 4G or 5G so the results are being driven in.

In this, the year 2022.

Over in Arizona’s 2nd District, Navy SEAL veteran Eli Crane leads state Rep. Walt Blackman 33 percent to 24 percent in the Republican primary, with almost half the expected vote reporting. Businessman Mark DeLuzio is close behind in third with 19 percent. Crane had led the way in fundraising and got Trump’s endorsement in this crowded primary, so he was somewhat favored coming in. Just for the record, QAnon promoter Ron Watkins has only 3 percent and is in last place (as Kaleigh mentioned earlier, he may be the voice behind Q, the message board account that has helped inspire the conspiracy theory).

The GOP winner will face Democratic Rep. Tom O’Halleran in the fall and will probably be favored, as the district shifted from R+6 to R+15 in redistricting (compared to the old 1st District). It was a little bit of a surprise O’Halleran decided to run anyway.
