We round up Tuesday’s primary and election results with NPR’s Jessica Taylor and Brian Ellison of KCUR. Also, pop singer-songwriter Jason Mraz is out with his sixth studio album this week, “Know.” “When I feel good, I sing,” he tells Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson, “and then singing makes me feel good, and it just escalates and becomes a constant feel-good experience.” And developers often cite regulations as one big reason for the lack of home building.
