The Legislative primaries, so far.

Here’s the state of the primary elections for the state legislature, so far. If the candidates are in Red (or the one in Blue) there is a primary.

At the moment, there are only 3 districts without a legislative primary of one sort or another at the moment. Three. Than means, in 32 other districts, there will be legislative primaries in June. WOW.
