On Nebraska 15, Nebraska held a primary. In the 32nd State Senate district, the results so far are: Tom Brandt 3,495; Laura Ebke 2,603; Al Riskowski 1,772. The election is technically non-partisan, but the voters were generally aware that Ebke is a Libertarian and her two opponents are Republicans. No one got as much as 50%. The race will be between Brandt and Ebke on November 6.
