In an odd Saturday special election, voters elected the Republican candidates for the Secretary of State and Attorney General positions, with the elections resulting in the first two women elected to those positions–a foregone conclusion given that Democrats nominated women as well, according to the New York Times.
Nancy Landry, a relatively moderate Republican, beat Democrat Gwen Collins-Greenup for the Secretary of State position, while Trump-endorsed Liz Murrill beat Democrat Lindsey Cheek to become Attorney General. Also, Trumpian former Congressman and lackey in the Trump administration John Fleming won the race for state treasurer.
