Tuesday, August 4, will kick off another busy month of primaries. Five states are holding statewide primaries that day: Arizona, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, and Washington. Among those states, we'll cover 1,530 elections for 842 offices.

Our team is also covering one statewide ballot measure on Tuesday. Missouri Amendment 2 would expand Medicaid to those with incomes at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level under the Affordable Care Act.
