Hawaii primary: Abercrombie ousted, Schatz slightly ahead

The hard-fought Democratic Senate primary in Hawaii was too close to call early Sunday morning, with the incumbent clinging to a slight lead and residents in a pair of storm-ravaged precincts yet to cast their ballots.
With all but two of the state’s 247 precincts reporting, Sen. Brian Schatz had a 1,786-vote advantage over Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, 49.4 percent to 48.6 percent, according to The Associated Press.
