Voters in five states cast ballots on June 11 in primary elections for one governorship, two U.S. Senate seats, 15 U.S. House races, hundreds of state legislature slots, and thousands of local government positions.

Polls closed at 7 p.m. in South Carolina, where seven Congressional seats are on the ballots. Among the most prominent is the state’s Congressional District 1 (CD 1), where Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is favored to win, although some analysts think the race could be closer than expected.
