South End Senate Primary Results
The voting in South End precincts for the 2013 U.S. Senate special primary elections Tuesday reflected the preferences of the state overall, with Democratic winner Edward Markey and Republican winner Gabriel Gomez taking the most votes.
There was relatively low turnout overall in the South End’s precincts (Boston’s Ward 4, Precincts 1-4, and Ward 5, Precincts 1, Ward 8, Precincts 1 and 2, and Ward 9, Precinct 2). There were just shy of 2,500 votes in the Democratic primary while about 200 votes were cast in the Republican primary.
Gomez and Markey will square off in the general election to fill the seat vacated by John Kerry June 25.
