Arkansasans also cast their primary votes for the United Staates Senate and the Residence of Representatives on Tuesday. In the Senate election, Republican incumbent Sen. Tom Cotton won his primary uncontested. The state has four congressional districts, all of which were up for primary election on Tuesday: In the state's first district, incumbent Republican Rep. Rick Crawford is slated to run uncontested; in district 2, uncontested Democrat Joyce Elliott will face off against uncontested incumbent Republican Rep. French Hill; in district 3, uncontested Democrat Celeste Williams will face off against uncontested incumbent Republican Rep. Steve Womack; in district 4, uncontested Democrat William Hanson will face off against uncontested incumbent Republican Bruce Westerman.





Arkansas wasn't the only state who contained a presidential primary on Tuesday — 13 other states, including Alabama, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia, and the American Samoa also cast their votes.
