First town counted in #MA01, Windsor, suggets higher turnout than 2018, including some new Neal votes.

2018
Neal: 100
Amatul-Wadud: 55

2020
Neal: 128
Morse: 94

First flip is Worthington, though everything is good *enough* for Neal to keep him ahead overall. (The first Holyoke precinct was great for Neal.)

2018
Neal: 214
Amatul-Wadud: 200

2020
Morse: 261
Neal: 177

We're expecting at least 1.1 million Dem primary votes statewide, and more than 100k in #MA01, so I'm not over-analyzing based on the precincts in, just looking at towns that are finished.

Seth Moulton quit his presidential bid 13 months ago, but there's a little protest vote in the district now: In first town to count, Topsfield, half of voters picked voted for his two challengers.

3/10 of Holyoke is in and Neal is carrying it. Morse is the city's mayor and made that story central to his campaign, so this is very good for Neal.

The best thing Mermell has going in #MA04 is how Auchincloss and Grossman, both Newton city councilors, are eating each other's base. They've split 43% of the vote there so far, and 33% is going to Mermell. But Auchincloss's vote elsewhere has been enough for a lead.

Headling from August 11, results from tonight. Mermell was much more successful establishing herself as the progressive who could win after this poll showing Leckey and her mired in third.

Yep, and Brookline gets Mermell a 5000-vote margin. If she wins the ring of Boston suburbs, it gets very hard for Auchincloss to catch up.

Final margin in Brookline, ancestral home of the Kennedys: 64-36 for Markey.
