What Went Down During The May 17 Primary Elections

And in the open 4th Congressional District, Val Hoyle has a HUGE lead, 70 percent to 15 percent, over the progressive candidate Doyle Canning. Results are still sparse in the other two closely watched districts, the 5th and 6th.

We’ve got the first dump of mail ballots in Oregon. In the Democratic primary for governor, Tina Kotek leads Tobias Read 59 percent to 32 percent. On the GOP side, Christine Drazan has 24 percent, Bob Tiernan 21 percent and Stan Pulliam 10 percent.

Well, let’s see if we have any FiveThirtyEight writers in Pennsylvania’s 184th, a South Philly state House district where the incumbent is another progressive — in this case, Elizabeth Fiedler — facing a more moderate challenger with the backing of local ward leaders. (This is not my district, but that didn’t stop me from getting mailers attacking Fiedler.)
