Tennessee Primary Election Day: What Davidson County Voters Need to Know
Republicans are seeking a sweep of Tennessee’s nine congressional districts as voters also choose nominees for governor, Senate and House races.

- About 4,300 miles away, Hawaii voters also cast ballots in their primary elections, with winners from both states advancing to the general election on November 3.
