Early Returns -- The Night is Still Young, Somewhere

We've got three barn burners on our hands tonight along with one barn that's mostly already burned down, which all adds up to a long night for people who do things like blog election results. Here's a quick rundown of where we stand right now:


2nd District Republican Primary

With 123 out of 233 precincts reporting, Tom Wesley has opened a bit of a gap between himself and Jay Fleitman, with the count currently at 4,971 to 3,783.


3rd District Republican Primary

With 94 out of 190 precincts reporting, this one is about as close as it can possible get, as Brian Herr leads Marty lamb by just 18 votes, 3,246 to 3,228. Nails will be bitten.


5th District Republican Primary

With 115 of 196 precincts reporting, Jon Golnik remains well ahead of Sam meas to the tune of 6,975 to 4,528. But Lowell still hasn't reported, so anything is possible if they have a massive turnout there.


Worcester Sheriff Democratic Primary

With 127 out of 233 precincts reporting, Tom Foley has opened a slight lead over Scot Bove, 10,343 to 9,683. Still far too early to call though.
