WASHINGTON (AP) — Two veteran Democratic incumbents in Connecticut face strong challenges in a state primary on Tuesday. The Associated Press will provide vote results and declare winners in contested primaries for U.S. House, governor, state Senate and state House. About 114,000 Democratic primary ballots and about 94,000 Republican primary ballots were cast in the 2022 state primaries. There was no statewide Democratic primary in 2024, but about 17% of the Republican primary vote in the 2024 state primary was cast early in-person or by mail. As of Friday, about 43,000 Democratic primary ballots and about 3,900 Republican primary ballots had already been cast in Tuesday’s election.
