It’s 9 p.m. ET and the final polls are closing across Kansas and Michigan. Polls are also closing in parts of Arizona.
These are the key races and issues we are tracking:
Kansas: The issue of abortion comes up before voters for the first time since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Kansans will vote on an amendment to remove the right to abortion from the state Constitution, and a win for the “yes” vote would clear the way for the Republican legislature to pass new restrictions or a ban on abortion.
Meanwhile, vulnerable Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly is seeking a second term, and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is eyeing a third straight comeback attempt, this time running for state attorney general after losing bids for governor and US Senate the previous two cycles.
Michigan: Republicans will pick their nominee to face Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who is unopposed for the Democratic nomination. In the state’s 3rd Congressional District, Republican Rep. Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, faces a challenger backed by the former President. And in the state’s 11th district, Reps. Andy Levin and Haley Stevens are both vying for the Democratic nomination in a post-redistricting primary that has become a key battleground in the party’s evolving rift over Israel and the overlapping debate about Democrats’ broader ideological direction.
