In the News: Franklin voters, state totals

With approximately 1 percent of 2,901 registered voters casting ballots in Franklin, Steven Lynch topped the ticket for the Democrats and Gabriel Gomez for the Republicans. Totals are as follows:

Democrats: Lynch: 988 Markey: 907

Republicans: Gomez: 466 Sullivan: 287 Winslow: 249

Note: the sentence would be better written as "with 2,901 or approximately 1 percent of the registered voters casting ballots in Franklin" The election did draw 2,901 voters. There are over 20,000 registered voters.

Markey, Gomez win in primary election for U.S. Senate in Mass

Tuesday’s primary election for the U.S. Senate was a study in contrasts as Democrats chose a 36-year congressman running on his record and GOP voters backed a political novice promising to be a new breed of Republican.
