Schofield Wins Big in Allston-Brighton

Tim Schofield has taken a big lead in the special senate primary election results today, winning the 28 Boston precincts (mostly in Allston-Brighton) with nearly 64% of the vote:

NAME		Votes	Percent
TIMOTHY N SCHOFIELD		2061	63.79%
ROBERT B McCARTHY		602	18.63%
WILLIAM BROWNSBERGER		370	11.45%
JONATHAN HECHT		181	5.60%
Write-in Votes		17	0.53%

Allston-Brighton's historically low turnout, however, means that Schofield will have difficulty holding onto this lead. While Boston's total number of votes cast was 3203, Belmont already 2858 votes cast as of 3 pm -- with around 4400 expected by the time the polls closed at 8 pm.

State representative Will Brownsberger of Belmont is the favorite to get the lion's share of those Belmont votes.
