North Dakota primary sees site launch and incumbent victories
Read, Watch or Listen
Bismarck, N.D. The North Dakota Secretary of State's office launched a redesigned election results website ahead of the June 9 primary, and voters cast ballots Tuesday across the state. State and local outlets reported that Republican U.S. House member Julie Fedorchak won the GOP primary; multiple statewide contests produced vote tallies posted on the new site. State and local officials noted that results refreshed periodically during election night and remain unofficial until certified by the North Dakota State Canvassing Board; outlets published detailed counts Tuesday night. Winners advanced toward the November 3 general election, and officials said the site includes filters to highlight close races that could trigger recounts as certification proceeds in the coming weeks.
