> Voters in six US states have cast ballots in primaries and special elections ahead of November’s midterms. In Wisconsin’s governor race, moderate Democrat David Crowley narrowly beat Democratic socialist Francesca Hong. Republican Senate candidate Darline Graham, identified as the sister of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, advanced to a runoff. The results set the stage for the next phase of the campaign.
