Congressman's daughter defeats Gen Z activist in Arizona primary: 3 takeaways
Adelita Grijalva on Tuesday won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House seat her father held until his death in March, emerging from a contested Arizona primary that highlighted broader intraparty divisions over age, experience and dynastic politics. The former Pima County supervisor begins as the favorite in September's special election to succeed the liberal stalwart Raúl Grijalva, who died of complications from lung cancer earlier this year at age 77. Adelita Grijalva, 54, bested four other contenders, the Associated Press reported, including 25-year-old Gen Z content creator Deja Foxx, who ran on a platform of generational change and challenging the old guard.

Ohio purges 12,000 voters, and 350,000 more are at risk. How to check your registration
Ohio is removing 12,000 voters from its rolls and another 350,000 registrations are on the chopping block. Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced June 11 that nearly 12,000 registrations that belong to people who have registered and voted in other states for the 2024 general election are being removed from Ohio's rolls. The Ohio Secretary of State's Office of Data Analytics and Archives identified the registrations through multi-state data-sharing agreements. 'We have a duty under Ohio law to maintain accurate voter rolls,' LaRose said in a press release. 'This is a commonsense safeguard that's basically designed to prevent double voting." In March, LaRose published a list of more than 350,000 voter registrations that are eligible to be removed from the state's rolls. Voters on that list have until September 2025 to maintain their registrations. The 350,000 represents roughly 4.3% of the 8,159,946 registered voters Ohio had for the 2024 general election. Here's what you need to do to confirm your voter registration is valid or register to vote again.
