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.
