Most of the attention on Tuesday will be focused on Wisconsin, a battleground state where Republican voters are deciding who will challenge Gov.

Election officials everywhere would like to remind us that all the results we get Tuesday night are unofficial. It is up to local officials to decide whether to start counting mail ballots before or after in-person voting ends. In November 2020, more than 45 percent of the vote was uncounted by midnight on election night. Mail ballots could have a significant impact in tight races, like the Democratic primary for the state’s only House seat, and it could be late into Tuesday night before preliminary results are available in that race. And many of the state’s major cities, including Milwaukee and Green Bay, do not publish any results from ballots cast during early, in-person voting and absentee ballots until all are counted, according to Riley Vetterkind, the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s public information officer. Mail voting is up over previous midterm elections, according to Eric Covey, the chief of staff for Vermont’s secretary of state. In both Vermont and Connecticut, ballot counting is handled by towns, rather than counties. Polls close in Connecticut at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Election officials in Wisconsin could not start processing absentee ballots until polls opened on Tuesday morning. Mr. Trump endorsed Mr. Michels, a construction magnate who has said he would consider decertifying the 2020 results — something that cannot legally be done. Polls close in Wisconsin at 9 p.m. Eastern time. But that is not a guarantee.

Four states — Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont and Connecticut — are holding primary elections on Tuesday. Follow here for live results and news updates.

In the 5th, Democratic Rep. Jahana Hayes will meet former Republican state Sen. George Logan. Courtney and Hayes are in the DCCC's Frontline program for vulnerable incumbents. The general election matchups are set — in the 2nd District, Democratic Rep. Joe Courtney will face GOP state Rep. Mike France, a Navy veteran. Both Finstad and Ettinger are also competing Tuesday in the regular primary election for the full two-year term for the southern Minnesota seat. In the Minneapolis-anchored 5th District, Rep. Ilhan Omar, a member of the "squad" of House progressives, is being challenged by former Minneapolis City Councilman Don Samuels, among others. Trump won the district by 10 points in 2020, so it is favored to remain in Republican control. The Democratic primary for US Senate in Wisconsin will reach a much more anticlimactic conclusion. State Senate President Pro Tempore Becca Balint and Lt. Gov. Molly Gray are the two leading candidates in the Democratic primary for the state’s sole congressional seat. It’s especially small when the senator is from a state that was more friendly to the opposition party in the previous two presidential elections than the nation as a whole. In the governor’s race, Brenda Siegel is running unopposed in the Democratic primary, but would still be an underdog in the general election against GOP Gov. Phil Scott, despite the state’s progressive nature. The two leading candidates to replace Welch in the House are Becca Balint, the president pro tempore of the Vermont state Senate, and Lt. Gov. Molly Gray. The race has split Vermont’s senators. He is very likely to face Johnson in the fall. Wisconsin is the third state in which Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence have backed opposing GOP candidates for governor.

Candidates in dozens of Democratic and Republican primary election races are facing off in Southeastern Wisconsin on Tuesday.

By 4:30 p.m., 185 voters cast a ballot at the south side poll site. Republicans want to change that should they win the office in November. Primaries were also being held in Minnesota, Connecticut and Vermont. Notable among the Assembly races is in the 63rd district, where Assembly Speaker Robin Vos seeks to keep his seat. Jarchow, a former lawmaker, has carved out a more conservative profile, including criticizing transgender issues. Toney, the Fond du Lac district attorney, brought charges against five people over listing post office boxes as their address for voter registration. 4:15 p.m. update: Jammin at the Polls draws Milwaukee residents to vote for the first time Make sure to bookmark this page and share it with your family and friends.
