Here’s an article from The Iowa Republican on the Iowa races from an Iowa perspective:

I’ll be looking for how many registered voters and how many actually voted.
I want to see how engaged the voting population really is, if turn out is low, then there is little hope for restoring and preserving the Constitution anytime soon.
I think these states would be a good sample, of what to expect in November, if voters are not engaged at this point, well...I don’t know what to think anymore, except I’ll not see any changes, other than the continued doubling down of communism, in my lifetime.
DIRTY SOUTH: Incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran is in the fight of his life against tea party challenger state Sen. Chris McDaniel in the Mississippi GOP Senate primary,,
ABC Wrote this??? Dirty South????

Is Steve King running for US Senate in Iowa? Definitely vote Chris McDaniel in Mississippi!!
Alabama races may be interesting today: the teacher’s union (AEA) is trying to hijack the election by funding a bunch of “Republican” candidates and hammering on one wedge issue: the repeal of Common Core.
I voted at 11 am and 16 others had voted before me!
Get out and vote, FReepers. We have exponential voting power today it seems.
My EX employer is running for Alabama State Senate District 30, and I hope that prissy little, petulant, egotistical, vindictive, pathological two faced lying, backstabbing, thieving, hypocritical, coward loses. (These are the nice things I can say about him BTW).
Anyone have links to live updates of Alabama and Mississippi vote returns?
Just voted in Alabama.
After I checked in by showing my photo ID (which just makes sense), the retired lady voting guide asked me if I wanted a Republican or democrat ballot. I just made a face and pointed to the Republican ballot, which she handed me while saying, “Nobody is taking the democratic ballots.”
I replied, “Ma’am, it’s not that I have anything against the democrats, but as sure as grass is green and the sky is blue, when I’m dead I’ll be voting democrat. So I just figured, as long as I’m living, I’ll only vote Republican.”
Does anyone know how Steve Lonegan in NJ is doing?
McDaniel 25,779 49.7
Cochran 25,226 48.6
Carey 870 1.7

IOWA: Based on Polk County results, where Ernst gets an outright majority, she will undoubtedly get the US Senate nomination.
Polk County is Iowa’s largest, and not even Ernst’s strongest area.
The surprise is TEA party-type Sam Clovis with a second-place showing.
http://www.c-span.org/congress/primaries/?date=1401825600 McDaniel is -191 votes of being right at 50%, is that the threshold to avoid runoff, also there could be a recount if it’s close on whether to have runoff or not, I would think at best Cochran will at least have a runoff.
