Quick #INPrimary afterthought on the two open-seat congressional races: in #IN05, both @Victoria_Spartz and @HaleIndy ran the table, winning all 9 counties -- in fact, Spartz and @BethForIndiana finished 1-2 everywhere. 1/
#IN01, though, has 3 counties, and three different winners. @JimHarperIN won his home county of Porter; @gomcdermott won LaPorte -- @Fjmrvan was 4th there. But Mrvan won Lake, which has more than 2x the votes of the other two combined. His 4,700-vote cushion there was plenty. 2/
Top vote-getters in Lake: Mrvan, McDermott, Borom, Reardon, Haake, Harper
In Porter: Harper, Mrvan, McDermott, Reardon, Haake, Borom
In LaPorte: McDermott, Harper, Reardon, Mrvan, Borom, Haake
Overall: Mrvan, McDermott, Harper, Borom, Reardon, Haake

At least 7 counties are still tallying mail-in ballots: Marion, Hamilton, Boone, LaPorte, Porter, Monroe, St. Joseph.
Boone and Monroe have released no totals so far; they plan to announce their results all at once. Monroe expects a count later today; likely tomorrow in Boone.

Missing counties leave at least two #INLegis races in limbo. No results yet for the seat of retiring Sen. Mark Stoops (D-Bloomington), which is entirely within Monroe County; 3-way race includes @ZodyforIN and @shelliyoder. #INPrimary 2/
With four vote centers (and mail-in ballots) still uncounted, John Jacob has stretched his lead to 123 votes over Rep. Dollyne Sherman (R-Indianapolis). #INPrimary.
There's some kind of glitch with this race. @shedop now has a 713-vote lead on John Jacob -- but Johnson County results on @SecretaryLawson's website show her winning the county 836-0. Which, um, seems unlikely. Jacob leads in Marion County, with four vote centers still out.
Other sites indicate Jacob winning Johnson County by 62 votes, giving him a 185-vote lead on Sherman. Still waiting on the final Marion County results, plus the mail-in ballots.

Aaaannnd we're off. @GovHolcomb's #coronavirus briefing underway.
Box: total number of patients in the hospital peaked April 14 at around 1800. Steady decreases since then.
(Total #coronavirus patients, obvs.)

Indiana Election Commission meeting to discuss June 2 #INPrimary plan gets off to a rocky start, with someone zoombombing the videoconference.
The commission's order for the primary requires at least one voting location for every 25,000 voters. It shortens the #earlyvoting window to eight days.
Bipartisan Election Commission unanimously approves #INPrimary order. The commission will hold at least two more pre-election meetings, one next week and one next month.
