Abortion Rights Activists Win Big In Kansas (And Other Primary Results)

Kansas voters overwhelmingly rejected a measure that would have opened the door to abortion restrictions in the state. Election turnout was incredibly high, signaling the issue may spur increased Democratic turnout in November.

And in Arizona, Mark Finchem, a state representative and election conspiracy theorist who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has secured the GOP’s nomination for Secretary of State, according to the Associated Press. Should Finchem win in the general, he would oversee the state’s voting systems.
