Ammons gives post-primary rundown

David Ammons, the long time Associated Press reporter turned communications director for Secretary of State Sam Reed, has sent out a press release highlighting what the office sees as the major stories in the first ever top two primary.

The release, seen here, focuses on the races around the state that either led to a slate of all Republicans or all Democrats in the general election, or those that allowed a minor party candidate into the top two.

"For the first time, eight legislative finals apparently will feature finalists who prefer the same party," the release says, "two Senate seats and six House races, based on partial and unofficial returns."

All of those listed occurred in heavily partisan districts.
