What Went Down During The June 28 Primary Elections

And there it is, the Election Day vote has put the Republican Flood into the lead in the special election for Nebraska’s 1st District. He’s now up by 1 point over Pansing Brooks, the Democrat. It’s unclear how many votes are really outstanding here, considering it’s a low-turnout primary. But the trend is fairly clear.

Kirkmeyer’s lead in the GOP primary for Colorado’s 8th District has slimmed, as she’s now down to 41 percent. But her next-closest competitor is Thornton Mayor Jan Kulmann, who has 23 percent, and then Saine at 20 percent. So even if Kirkmeyer loses a bit more ground, she might win out with a small plurality thanks to the crowded field.

In Illinois, the 14th and 17th Districts are continuing in their stolid, predictable fashion. In the 17th District, 30 percent of the vote is in and Esther Joy King is up 68.9 percent. In the 14th District, Scott Gryder is still ahead at 30.1 percent and 40 percent reporting.
