This was a big digest, and a lot to take in. Kudos to you authors!
However, there's some minor mistakes:
-The Chiefs stadium is moving *from* Missouri to Kansas, not *to* Missouri.
-Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver has two M's in his name.
-Don Huffines is not the incumbent Texas comptroller. That is Kelly Hancock, who he ousted in March. However, Dawn Buckingham is the incumbent land commissioner, and she was not labeled as such.
Without getting too opinionated since this site isn't designed for that, I'm pleased with last night's results in Michigan and look forward to winning in November.
CNN reported the following day that GOP leaders in the House were urging Edwards to pull his name from the ballot so North Carolina Republicans could choose a new nominee. The story said that Republicans were “still sorting out the procedural questions of replacing him on the ballot.”
Yeah I was wondering about this one yesterday when the censure recommendation surfaced. The candidate filing period in NC ended in December -- of 2025. And the primaries have long since passed, so my best guess is that the NCGOP will hold some kind of convention to choose a new candidate. But this late in the game, how good can their voting really be? But hey, the NCGA broke the rules to get RFK Jr off the ballot after the deadline in 2024, so I'm sure they'll find a way -- or invent one -- legal or otherwise.
Yeah, I forgot that part. And then the NCGA returned the favor by trying to change the rules of the SC election after the votes were counted and they lost. Apparently that was a bridge too far, but they’ve had 2 years to figure out how to get around that, and they’ll use it.
I’m honestly very surprised that Amendment 5 did so bad in Missouri. I thought voters would see “eliminate income tax” and vote yes immediately. Missouri voters are a bit more discerning than I expected.
It gives me hope that they will vote NO on Amendment 3 in November, which repeals the abortion rights amendment under the ballot candy guise of "prevent trans kid surgeries".
I wonder why it was so far off? Enthusiasm gap perhaps? Pollsters use a pretty tight screen for primaries so maybe Stevens' supporters were disproportionally getting filtered out.
There are about 40k votes left to count in Wayne, AES's statewide lead is now a little under 15k votes. Allegan County appears to be the only other area of Michigan with some outstanding vote, albeit probably not more than a few hundred votes left to count.
Stevens needs roughly 66% of the remaining vote in order to win, if my math is correct.

Don Huffines as in the new owner of Zorro Ranch in New Mexico?
Yes, unfortunately. Now he's likely to hold statewide office in Texas.
He was a state senator but was defeated by Nathan Johnson in 2018, the nominee for attorney general.
Thought I recognized the name.
Thank you for the catches. Don Huffines, though, is the incumbent as of Aug. 1. Abbott appointed him. https://comptroller.texas.gov/about/media-center/news/20260801-don-huffines-sworn-in-as-texas-comptroller-refuses-salary-calls-for-property-tax-relief-1785512488796
And it is "Emanuel Cleaver," one M. https://cleaver.house.gov/

I hope that the Stevens voters unite behind AES for November. I was surprised the primary was as close as it was.

The state Supreme Court ALLOWED the NCGA to remove RFK Jr.'s name off the 2024 ballot AFTER the timeline had passed.

Such a momentous night last night. MO and KS Republicans' constitutional amendments FAILED, plus the pervy Chuck Edwards resigned.
Those victories will likely be glossed over by the media due to the marquee nail-biter race in Michigan, but deserve to have as much publicity.

I thought Chuck Edwards merely dropped his reelection bid. Did he actually resign?? I don’t think so.
One correction: The runoff (if needed) for the Republican Senate special election in South Carolina will be August 25.
Thank you, I've fixed.
El-Sayed’s lead is now less than a point. The polling failed on this one.

McKinney up 4 with 73% in in MI 13.
MI-Sen - At this rate, Stevens could overtake AES, although it's not a certainty:

40k remaining might be a way overestimate tho.

Republican Bill Teeter won an election for the Arkansas state House last night uncontested, but still managed to get 41 votes.
