2016 Congressional Primaries

[100% pro-life no matter what]

The only Senate primary with multiple candidates winning counties:



Ross 95; Rey 5

I'll do more stuff later.

Was that NC result unexpected?  I've never heard of her!  I'm thinking that this race is pretty much Safe R at this point, as I can't see Hillary winning NC by 5+ points (Burr probably runs a little better than a weak GOP nominee and on par with a strong one).

I had it in my mind that the McCain-Ward primary was tonight.  Disappointed that we won't know for another 5 months!!

Who is expected to win the CO GOP Primary?  Is it Jerry Eller?

--- Note: Due to WA's mail in system, if any races are close, we may not know the winners until as late as August 16th. See http://results.vote.wa.gov/results/current/default.htm for post-election-night results. The 'Voter Turnout' Tab will show when the next update is for each county.

Thanks for adding the links and other contested races . I only saw the one candidate listed in Wikipedia for those races. Which races do you see as most interesting?   

The best way to know if a race is contested is to look at the raw AP data. I prefer to use politico/NYT over that for getting actual results as it is faster, but for knowing which races are contested days or weeks ahead of time, it's the best available. For instance, the AP page for Tennessee this Thursday is here: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2016/by_state/TN_Page_0804.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS

I expect KS-1 (Huelskamp vs. Marshall) to be competitive. WA-7 is the next test for Bernie's revolution (He has endorsed Jayapal). It will be mildly interesting to see who gets the 2nd slot against Patty Murray, although she's definitely NOT going to lose in November, even in a Trumpslide. And Missouri R Governor is of course competitive.

I'm sure there's other points of interest, but I don't know where they are.

I wish they would show write-in votes, because then I would see myself with 1 write in vote.  In my state house district (part of the city of Nashville), the Democratic incumbent is running unopposed, so I wrote in myself.

So is it fair to assume DesJarlais won his primary on the backs of Democratic votes?  The seat is too Republican to be even remotely competitive now, but obviously the TNDP would rather face DesJarlais than anyone else, if not keep him around as a punching bag.

Who did the party establishment back in that primary, by the way?

It didn't really seem like either.  My friend base was pro-Starrett, but that doesn't seem to mean anything these days.
