What Went Down During Ohio’s And Indiana’s Primary Elections

In Indiana’s 9th District, state Sen. Erin Houchin is maintaining her lead of 11 points over former Rep. Mike Sodrel. Veteran Stu Barnes-Israel is further back. There’s still about 20 percent of the vote still out, but it’s looking pretty good for Houchin, whose best areas like Harrison County still have a lot more vote to report.

In the GOP primary in Ohio’s 7th District, Republican Max Miller is projected to win, according to ABC News. Keep in mind, the district is an R+14 seat so Miller is definitely in good standing heading into November, too.

The Republican primary in Indiana’s 1st District is up to 33 percent reporting, per the AP, and Jennifer-Ruth Green still has a commanding 51 percent to 18 percent lead over Blair Milo. Green would probably be one of Republicans’ best possibilities to defeat Democratic Rep. Frank Mrvan in this district in the fall. With a FiveThirtyEight partisan lean of D+7, it’s Democratic-leaning, but not safe blue.
