Moran Likely to Win Democratic Nod

(Updated at 8:10 p.m.) Incumbent Rep. Jim Moran seems to be cruising to an easy victory in tonight’s Democratic House of Representatives primary.

With 43 percent of precincts reporting in the Eighth District of Virginia — which includes Arlington, Alexandria and parts of Fairfax County — Moran had 70 percent of the vote to Shuttleworth’s 30 percent.

In Arlington, Moran is capturing a 2-to-1 to 3-to-1 advantage in most precincts. One notable exception is the Republican-heavy Madison precinct, near Shuttleworth’s home in the Old Glebe neighborhood of north Arlington. Shuttleworth received 196 votes from Madison precinct voters, to 182 votes for Moran.

In the Virginia Republican U.S. Senate primary, George Allen has been declared the winner by the Associated Press.
