What Went Down In Elections In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Vermont And Connecticut
In the Wisconsin GOP primary for attorney general, we have 19 percent of the expected vote reporting and Toney is leading with just over 40 percent of the vote, while Jarchow is pretty close behind with around 36 percent of the vote. Mueller continues to trail with about 23 percent of the vote — again, not a big surprise there since she was a fringier candidate. We didn’t have a great sense of how this race would turn out going in because there wasn’t any public polling, but Jarchow did significantly outraise Toney. That doesn’t seem to be helping him yet — but the night is young, of course, and things could change.

ABC News is projecting that Brad Finstad has won the Republican primary election (not the special election!) for Minnesota’s 1st District. He’s currently leading tea partier Jeremy Munson 77 percent to 23 percent, a much wider margin than when the two faced off earlier this year in the special election’s primary.
Wisconsin’s 3rd District Democratic primary still looks like Pfaff’s to lose, as he has 48 percent with 24 percent of the expected vote reporting. Cooke is in second with 24 percent, so it’s going to take a big shift in that remaining vote to make this race interesting.
