Election day polls closed in Missouri and Michigan at 8 p.m. ET on Aug. 6 for primary elections which feature several closely watched races.

From the Upper Midwest to the Pacific Northwest, it’s another primary day. While not every race on Aug. 6 will capture Americans’ attention, more than a few could have major ramifications.
