It looks like Tim Huelskamp (R-Scumbag)

may lose his primary in Kansas.

This link says he lost,

but the Kansas BOE is not updating his results.

Huelskamp is part of the Freedom Caucus in Congress. From the article:

"Huelskamp voted against the Farm Bill, angering many rural Kansans. Not backing the Farm Bill resulted in Huelskamp’s opponent receiving the endorsements of Kansas Livestock Association, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Kansas Farm Bureau."
