Here is a link to Montana primary election returns for June 7.
Here is a link to the California Secretary of State’s web page, showing June 7 election returns. As expected, the only two names on the November 2016 ballot for U.S. Senate will be Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez. Because California eliminated write-in space in November for Congress and state office, Californians will not be able to vote for anyone for U.S. Senate in November than either of those two Democrats, who mostly agree with each other on the leading issues.
For U.S. House, two Democrats will be the only candidates on the November ballot in these districts: 17, 29, 34, and 44. The only non-major party member who will be on the November ballot for U.S. House will be an independent in the 40th district. The 40th district result was inevitable, because the only two candidates on the primary ballot in that district were a Democrat and the independent.
An Investors Business Daily/TIPP national poll released Monday gives Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson 11% against Clinton at 39% and Trump at 35%.
When Johnson is omitted from the poll choices, Clinton gets 45% and Trump gets 40%, once again going against conventional wisdom on who is hurt by Johnson being in the race.
According to this story, Republicans are spending money in the California U.S. House race, 24th district, to bolster Democrat Helene Schneider and to injure another Democrat, Salud Carbajal. Carbajal is a Santa Barbara County Supervisor and is backed by most leaders of the Democratic Party in the district. Schneider is the Mayor of Santa Barbara. Republicans would rather run against Schneider than against Carbajal.
No incumbent is running in the 24th district, and the district is fairly closely balanced between the two major parties. Four candidates in the race have raised over $500,000. They include the two Democrats mentioned above, and two Republicans, Katcho Achadjian (a state legislator) and Justin Fareed, a 28-year-old who has raised money all over the United States from conservatives. This is a district in which, conceivably, only two Republicans might appear on the general election ballot; or conceivably only two Democrats might appear on the general election ballot. As the story mentions, near the bottom, the technique of one major party trying to influence the balance between two candidates in the other major party has been rare in the past, but is likely to grow more common in top-two systems.
