Well, it's Election Day. Again. California, Florida, Wyoming, Alaska and others had their primary elections yesterday. We go over the results to give you the good, the bad and the Socialist. After President Donald Trump upset Hillary Clinton in 2016, the state of election polling has been in question. What's worse: sometimes the polls aren't bad, they're entirely made up. …
Alaska, Florida and Wyoming held their primaries on August 18, 2026, per the AP results page and the FVAP calendar (Alaska and Florida confirmed there).
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.
What we found
Contradicts. FVAP's 2026 primary calendar lists California's state primary as June 2, not August 18, so the statewide primary claim for California is contradicted.[2]
Supports. AP's August 18, 2026 primary results page covers Alaska, Florida and Wyoming voting that day, with Alaska and Florida also listed in the FVAP calendar as August 18 primaries.[1][2][3]
Context. The August 18 California contest was a special election in the 14th Congressional District to fill Eric Swalwell's vacated seat, not a statewide primary.[1][3]
