Sean notes the big story out of Tuesday's voting, the defeat of Alan Mollohan in West Virginia-01. Here are some other headlines from other races that took place yesterday.
* Mollohan's Mountain State colleague Nick Rahall was renominated, beating an underfunded challenger with two-thirds of the vote. He'll face former state Supreme Court justice (and former Democrat) Elliott Maynard, who eked out a win in the GOP primary.
* There were no major upsets in Nebraska's primary elections. Rep. Lee Terry (R) won two thirds of the vote against a tea party challenger and will face Democrat Tom White this November. Barack Obama won that district in 2008, thus earning one of the state's electoral votes. Gov. Dave Heineman (R) easily won renomination, and will face Omaha businessman Mark Lakers in his bid for a second full term. No Democrats filed to challenge Republican incumbents for state attorney general and auditor.
* The special election to replace Rep. Nathan Deal in Georgia-09 is headed to a runoff. Republicans Tom Graves and Lee Hawkins were the top two finishers in the heavily-GOP district; the only Democrat in the five-candidate field got just under 6 percent of the vote.
* Also in Georgia, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter won a special election for the state Senate. The state legislature is not in session for the rest of the year, though, and he must win another race to actually serve in the legislature. He beat another Democrat by more than 40 points in the low-turnout race.
* Another win for the Massachusetts GOP: Richard Ross won a special election to fill the state Senate seat vacated by U.S. Sen. Scott Brown (R). He beat his Democratic opponent by more than 6,000 votes. A Democrat won another special election for a Democrat-held seat, so the makeup of the state Senate does not change.
* Newark Mayor Cory Booker cruised to re-election in New Jersey's biggest city. But an ally of the City Council was defeated and another faces a runoff. Some Garden State Democrats are looking at Booker as a potential 2013 gubernatorial candidate against recently-elected Gov. Chris Christie (R).
