Patch has broken down vote tallies by local precincts.

 

Incumbent U.S. Rep. Jim Moran sweeped the Huntington and Belle Haven communities by large margins in Tuesday’s primaries.

Moran faced political newcomer Bruce Shuttleworth in the Democratic primary election for Virginia’s 8th District, which includes Arlington County, the city of Alexandria and parts of Fairfax County. He consistently earned more than 70 percent of the votes in all local precincts.

Moran’s best showing was in the Bucknell precinct, where he won 84 percent of the vote, compared to 5 percent for Shuttleworth. The highest percentage of voters choosing Shuttleworth was in the Grovesnor precinct, where he received 28 percent of the vote.

District-wide, Moran won handily with 74 percent of the vote.

Patch has broken down the vote tallies and percentages into the following precincts:

In the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, Huntington and Belle Haven voters overwhelmingly voted for former Gov. George Allen, who received more than 70 percent of the vote in most precincts. Candidate Jamie Radtke fared second best but won only between 13 and 22 percent of the vote at local precincts.

Statewide, Allen won 65 percent of the vote. Patch has broken down the vote tallies and percentages into the following local precincts:
