Polls closed Tuesday in Wisconsin for primary elections where voters decided on Republican and Democratic candidates for various offices, including the state's first open gubernatorial seat since 2010. The gubernatorial race is notable as current Democratic Gov. Tony Evers announced last year that he would not seek reelection, leaving the seat open.
In addition to the gubernatorial contest, several U.S. House primary races were also on the ballot, potentially influencing the balance of power in Congress. The election was framed as a test for the Democratic Party's future in the key battleground state. Voters cast their ballots on Aug. 11 for these key races.
