Tonight we're liveblogging the Wisconsin recall elections as well as primaries in six states: California, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota. Click here for our guide to all the key primaries, and stick with us as we cover all of tonight's interesting races. Results: Calif. | Iowa | Montana | New Jersey | New Mexico | S. Dakota | Wisconsin
7:10 PM PT: FOX is also calling the LG race for GOP Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch.
7:17 PM PT (David Jarman): While we wait for more information in NJ-09 -- currently 73-27 for Bill Pascrell with 55% reporting, but that should close -- here's an underwhelming primary performance from a race that's flying under the radar: Republican incumbent Leonard Lance is only at 63% against David Larsen, the same tea partier he faced in the 2010 NJ-07 primary.
7:17 PM PT (James L): In the NM-Sen primary, Democrat Martin Heinrich is well ahead of state Auditor Hector Balderas by 68-32 with 21% of the vote reporting. (On the GOP side, ex-Rep. Heather Wilson is steamrolling teabagger Greg Sowards by 75-25). Meanwhile, NM-01 (D) is still log-jammed at 42-36 for Michelle Lujan Grisham over Eric Griego (with ex-Albuquerque mayor Marty Chavez way behind at 22) with 31% reporting.
7:19 PM PT (jeffmd): WI SD-21: Comparing the same precincts, John Lehman (D) is doing 2.06% better than he did in 2010. He needs to do 2.55% better to win.
7:21 PM PT (David Jarman): We're up to 75% reporting in NJ-09's primary, and it still isn't closing much yet. It's still 70-30 for Pascrell.
7:23 PM PT: In MT-AL (D), Kim Gillan is up 37-20 over Dave Strohmaier with 22% reporting. In MT-Gov (R), Rick Hill has a 36-25 lead over Corey Stapleton.
7:27 PM PT (David Jarman): The AP has called NJ-07 for Leonard Lance, still holding at 62%. Also, they've called the Republican side in NJ-09, only of interest because the nominee is celebrity rabbi (and former Michael Jackson friend) Shmuley Boteach, who wins with 51%.
7:29 PM PT (Kaili Joy Gray): New thread here.
