The Latest: Minnesota Primary race results

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Latest on primary voting in Minnesota (all times local):

10:15 p.m.

A Somali activist has unseated one of the Minnesota Legislature's longest-serving members in a Democratic primary.

Ilhan (ILL'-hahn) Omar defeated 22-term Rep. Phyllis Kahn in Tuesday's DFL nominating contest. Omar's victory in the heavily Democratic Minneapolis district makes it likely she'll be the first Somali-American lawmaker in the nation after the November election.

The district spans the University of Minnesota and is home to a large population of immigrants from Somalia and other East African countries. Omar argued the district needs a fresher face that better represents the diversity and needs of the area.

Omar is a political activist and former aide to the Minneapolis City Council.

Kahn has spent 44 years in the Legislature.

Longtime conservative radio host Jason Lewis has captured the Republican nomination for Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District.

Lewis entered Tuesday's primary as the favorite and the party's endorsed candidate. He defeated businesswoman Darlene Miller, former state legislator John Howe and consultant Matt Erickson to get the GOP nod.

His victory sets up a fiercely contested battle with Democratic candidate Angie Craig, who has raised nearly $2 million for the election. The southeastern Minnesota district is viewed as a toss-up. The winner will succeed retiring Republican Rep. John Kline.

It's Lewis's second run for a congressional seat. He previously launched a congressional bid in Colorado before moving to Minnesota

A leading Minnesota Republican legislator on outdoors issues has lost in a GOP primary.

Rep. Tom Hackbarth lost in Tuesday's primary to Calvin Bahr for the central Minnesota House district. The loss ends his tenure of nearly two decades at the Legislature.

Hackbarth had served the last two years as chair of a House committee handling outdoor and mining issues. He was in the spotlight in recent legislative battles surrounding walleye fishing limits on Mille Lacs Lake and unemployment on Minnesota's Iron Range.

But he entered Tuesday's primary facing steep odds as he challenged Bahr after losing the party's endorsement.

Hackbarth was first elected to the House in 1994 but lost a re-election bid. He's been in the Legislature since winning back his seat in 1998.

8:50 p.m.

Republican House Speaker Kurt Daudt has defeated a GOP challenger in a primary.

Daudt beat retired Army major and former Isanti County Commissioner Alan Duff in Tuesday's primary. His heavily Republican district all but ensures he'll return to the Legislature for a fourth term.

The Zimmerman Republican ascended to the House's top leadership spot when Republicans won control of the House in 2014. He's charged with managing a diverse Republican caucus and negotiating with Gov. Mark Dayton and other top Democrats.

But his leadership spawned complaints among conservative activists who took issue with additional spending approved in the Legislature under his watch. Outside political groups spent heavily on both sides.

With the primary challenge out of the way, Daudt will focus on retaining control of the House.

4:45 p.m.

The Minneapolis suburb of Lakeville is in the epicenter of the state's primary action, falling inside the 2nd Congressional District and the fight to replace retiring GOP Rep. John Kline. But just a few voters trickled into a Lakeville polling place throughout the afternoon.

Among them was Todd Laubach, who voted for Jason Lewis, saying the candidate's radio career, fiscal conservatism and party endorsement won him over.

Lewis supporter Sandy Scipioni was puzzled by the lack of energy surrounding the primary. She never had candidates knocking at her door and couldn't remember a single piece of political mail.

Matt Schiefelbein, a 20-year-old from Lakeville, was the only one among his group of friends to vote, calling it his civic duty. He chose Darlene Miller, citing Kline's endorsement as the clincher.

3 p.m.

Minnesota voters are trickling into the polls for what officials are calling a very quiet primary election.

One of the few high-profile races is in southern Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District, where GOP Rep. John Kline's retirement set up a four-way Republican primary fight for his open seat. But election officials say that hasn't drawn out many voters.

Scott County's elections coordinator, Lisa Shadick, describes the voting there as "pretty uneventful."

In Goodhue County, elections official Amy Hove says turnout has been a little higher in a couple cities with mayoral and city council races, but there's been "very minimal turnout" elsewhere. Hove says the congressional race and a state Supreme Court race are the only contests on the ballot for most of her county's cities and townships.

7:30 a.m.

Polls are open for Minnesota's primary election.

The only statewide race is a seat on the Supreme Court, where Associate Justice Natalie Hudson is the incumbent in a three-party field. Two candidates advance to November.

Ramsey County elections chief Joe Mansky, a former state elections official, estimated 5 percent turnout in his county, the state's second-most populous. The secretary of state's office doesn't predict turnout.

How many voters go to the polls could be a major factor in Tuesday's elections. Candidates in every corner of Minnesota concede that anything can happen when few voters turn out.

12:50 a.m.

Minnesota voters have only a handful of primaries Tuesday, but there's still plenty at stake.

The biggest prize is in southern Minnesota, where GOP Rep. John Kline's retirement set off a scramble for a swing seat in Congress. Four Republicans crowded into Tuesday's primary.

Conservative radio host Jason Lewis had the party's endorsement. Businesswoman Darlene Miller, former state lawmaker John Howe and consultant Matt Erickson were also running.

Longtime state Rep. Phyllis Kahn was defending her Minneapolis seat against two Somali-American candidates. And House Republican Speaker Kurt Daudt faced a primary challenge from a former county commissioner who says Daudt hasn't done enough to curb state spending.
