IndyStar reporters provided extensive coverage on Election Day, speaking with voters, candidates, and poll workers to capture the essence of the day and the results. Early data indicated that 19% of registered voters in Hamilton County and fewer than 15% in Marion County cast their ballots. The Republican primary for Indiana’s 6th Congressional District was won by Jefferson Shreve, while Victoria Spartz led in the 5th Congressional District and André Carson won in the 7th. Mike Braun accepted the GOP gubernatorial nomination, and Eric Doden and Brad Chambers conceded the race. Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch conceded to Sen. Mike Braun and called for unity. Valerie McCray won the Democratic U.S. Senate race, and the GOP primary for governor was called for Sen. Mike Braun. Polls were officially closed at 7 p.m. with reporters stationed at watch parties. Severe weather was expected to hit the Indianapolis metro area, with voters still turning out during the storms. First-time voter Liam Hoffman emphasized alignment with Joe Biden’s views, while others like Robert Jackson voted in the Democratic primary to choose the “least-bad option.” The coverage highlights key moments of the Election Day, including victories, concessions, and voter sentiments across Indiana.
