Live Results: Alabama State House Special Election

Voters in one of the few competitive legislative districts in Alabama head to the polls Tuesday. Democrats are attempting to flip the seat, although the outcome won't impact control of a chamber dominated by Republicans. 

Alabama State House District 10

Republicans hold a large 75-27 margin over Democrats in the Alabama House of Representatives. There are three vacancies. Members serve four-year terms; the next elections are in 2026.

Joe Biden Wins Missouri Democratic Primary

Missouri Democrats held a party-run Democratic primary this past Saturday. Ballots could be cast across four hours ending at noon, local time.

The party said results would be available by March 28; it was able to beat that self-imposed deadline by two days. 

As expected, President Biden won easily, adding to his large delegate advantage. 

Live Results: Louisiana Presidential Primary

Voters in Louisiana head to the polls Saturday for the state's presidential primary. Although a large number of candidates remain on each ballot, presumptive nominees Joe Biden and Donald Trump are expected to pad their insurmountable delegate leads.

Polls close at 9:00 PM Eastern Time.

Democratic Party

There are 48 pledged delegates. 16 of them will be allocated based on the statewide vote, while 32 of them are associated with the state's 6 congressional districts. The number of delegates in each district ranges from 4 to 8, based on how Democratic the district has voted in recent elections. 

In each case, delegates are allocated proportionately to candidates receiving at least 15% of the vote. Given that threshold, Biden is likely to win all of them.

Overview and Live Results: Illinois and Ohio Primaries

U.S Senate

Ohio (Republican)

There are currently only five states with U.S. Senators of different parties. This is the smallest number since the direct election of Senators began in 1914. All five of the states have a seat up for election in 2024 and in all five cases it is the seat currently held by a Democrat.1 1Angus King of Maine is an independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party.

Sen. Joe Manchin is retiring in West Virginia, the reddest of these states. His seat is almost certain to flip to the GOP. The Democratic incumbent is currently seen as a slight favorite in Wisconsin, while Maine isn't expected to be competitive. 

Northern Mariana Islands Republican Caucus

The first Republican contest since Donald Trump clinched the nomination takes place on Friday (local time) in the Northern Mariana Islands.  The caucus ends at 6:00 AM Friday Eastern Time. 

This event is taking place on March 15, the earliest date that the GOP allows winner take all delegate allocations for a plurality vote. That is the methodology here, with nine delegates going to the winner. Of course, with only one candidate remaining in a race that has been decided, it is all sort of irrelevant.

The timing of results is unclear but the table below will populate when available.

Live Results: Congressional Primaries Highlight Super Tuesday, as a Presidential Rematch Draws Closer

Super Tuesday has arrived. While it is the busiest day on the presidential nominating calendar, not much is expected in terms of competitive excitement. Joe Biden and Donald Trump should make large strides toward the delegate counts needed to clinch their respective nominations.

The first regular statewide primaries for 2024 are also taking place; candidates will be nominated for a variety of offices for the November 5 general election.
