Primaries (for office other than president) were held on September 9 in Delaware, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.

In New York, the Republican primary for U.S. House, 13th district (Staten Island and part of Brooklyn) was a contest between Robert Straniere, Jim Wyne, and Carmine Morano. Straniere won. But Paul Atanasio, a registered member of the Conservative Party who had wanted to run in the Republican primary, will be on the November ballot as the Conservative Party nominee. Also, Carmine Morano (who was only a write-in in the Republican primary) will be on in November as the Independence Party nominee.

ThirdPartyWatch reports that Dean Barkley easily won the Minnesota Independence Party primary for U.S. Senate.
