It’s Primary Election Day, and candidates are vying for their party’s nomination in various local and statewide races.
Click here and here for background on today’s elections.
At the polls, voters received two ballots – one for the Democratic Party and one for the Republican Party. Each voter could only mark one political party’s ballot as they give the nod to their party’s top choice. If the race only features partisan opponents, then the winning candidate emerges as the presumptive winner in the November general election. If not, then the top Republican and top Democrat will face off this fall.
