Lamb Wins, According to McGovern

The Worcester Telegram is reporting that Marty Lamb has won the 3rd District Republican Primary, at least according to Democratic incumbent Jim McGovern, who offered Lamb his congratulations even though Lamb's opponent Brian Herr has yet to officially concede.

Still, the writing is on the wall, as Lamb now boasts a lead of 6,317 to 4,990 with 178 of 190 reporting. Even without access to complete voter registration rolls, we're doubtful that there are enough potential voters left to even theoretically bridge that gap.

So, there you have it: according to McGovern and the laws of mathematics, Marty Lamb is the Republican nominee.
