So it’s looking good to reach a top 5 primary in Nebraska.

Unlike some nights, the 8:45 p.m. release tonight in Douglas County could settle a lot of races, given how many mailed ballots people requested and returned by Monday.

I’ll be watching the gap in #NE02.

Updates from @OWHnews and @jeffreyrobb:

Interesting to look down the ballot and see the Omaha street bond votes looking like they’re having a good night so far and some interesting races for Legislaure and county board looking like they could be fun.

And that @u_nebraska regents race, oh my. Could be a burner.

Well, @OWHnews appears to have called #NE02 for @karaforcongress. So it'll be a rematch with @DonJBacon.

Here's the early version of the @karaforcongress and @DonJBacon wins from #Nebraska primary night 2020.

Now we have @jeffreyrobb doing yeoman's work. Millard bond and Omaha street bond look headed to passage.

And whether @OWHnews is ready to call it or not, the #NESen GOP race is done. @BenSasse beats @InnisForSenate soundly across the state.

Leading 75-25 with nearly half the vote in.

Here's the early story from @reecereports on the passage of the #Omaha streets bonds to start catching up on repairs.

One thing to remember on any really close races in the #Omaha area: Douglas County won't open and count the mailed ballots dropped off on Election Day until Friday.

So some numbers could change, given the lines today at drop boxes around town.

Looks like the presidential primary in #NE02 is going about as you'd expect, @realDonaldTrump and @JoeBiden.

Dig a little deeper and it looks like competition might be possible for the red/blue dot that President Obama won in 2008 but Mitt Romney and Trump won in 2012 and 2016.

Here's @jeffreyrobb's presidential update:

omaha.com/news/local/ele…

Next round of Douglas County results coming at 10:45 p.m., then another round tonight expected around 11:45 p.m. There may be additional counts after. TBD.

Friday the county will count those early ballots returned on Election Day.

Yay! We've reached the school board portion of voting stories. This one from @emily_nitcher is about the @OmahaPubSchool board.

And some big news out of the @DouglasCountyNE board race involving incumbent Clare Duda. He's out.

From @CHRISBURBACH:

omaha.com/news/douglas-c…

Just got word from @dcElections that they are not expecting any additional counts tonight after the 11:45 p.m. release.

They think they'll have about 13,000 early votes that were delivered today to count on Friday, per @dcElections.

Here's @JoeDejka's story on the @MillardPS bond issue passing.

omaha.com/news/millards-…

The 2020 #Nebraska primary already has the highest number of voters of any of the state's previous primary elections. 440,653 and rising. Hat tip, voters.

The next 5 Nebraska primaries by turnout:

1972: 413,015

1934: 408,238

1988: 403,177

1976: 402,633

2006: 400,687
