Election Thread

Arizona, Florida, and Oklahoma had primary races yesterday. Here's a thread to talk about any and all of the results that you found exciting or disappointing.

[Content Note: Video may autoplay at link] CBS has a solid round-up of results from all three states.

There's been a lot of attention on the results in the Florida gubernatorial race, where Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum won the Democratic primary to become the first Black candidate for governor in Florida. He will face GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis in the general election, who was backed by Donald Trump. Yuck.

Shaker SKM pointed me to this interesting result out of Oklahoma:

"Of the 19 House Republicans who voted against the tax hike [on fuel, cigarettes and energy production to pay for an average teacher pay raise of $6,100], eight have now been defeated. Seven others decided not to run. Only four have advanced to the general election." https://t.co/iv0wfDIoLU
