What Went Down In Elections In Minnesota, Wisconsin, Vermont And Connecticut

An independent, Anderson could actually win over some voters that a Republican couldn’t have, giving her a nonzero chance of defeating appointed Democratic incumbent Steve Hobbs. Amazingly, despite Washington’s blue hue, Democrats haven’t won the secretary of state’s office in an election since 1960!
