As the 2024 elections approach, voters have multiple options for casting their ballots, including absentee voting and early voting, with absentee ballots available starting September 26 in Michigan. Incumbent Republican Brad Roae faces a challenge from Democrat Michael Walker in Pennsylvania's 6th Legislative District. Control of Congress is at stake with tight Senate and House races, including a crucial Arizona House seat now considered competitive, potentially aiding Democrats. Additionally, a secretive group, the Patriots Run Project, has been recruiting Trump supporters as independent candidates in key swing districts to siphon votes from Republicans. This election cycle will also see critical gubernatorial contests and ballot measures on issues like abortion access and voting rights. The dynamics of these elections reflect broader national tensions surrounding significant policy issues.
