Good morning, early birds! Rep. Mark Tedford became the presumptive Republican nominee in the First Congressional District race Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Tuesday's primary, when Jackson Lahmeyer announced he is suspending is campaign.
It was somewhat better for Democrats, who had four statewide races on the ballot. In the Corp Comm vote, the third race on the ballot, more than 5500 fewer votes were cast than for Governor. The number improved for US Senate, but still 3560 fewer votes were cast.
