Update: Markey wins Amherst 81%-19%. — PolitiTweet.org

Exhibit A of why Twitter isn't real life: Rep. Richard Neal (D) is currently beating Alex Morse (D) in 36/51 towns reporting votes in #MA01, including a lot of the Berkshires. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Over/under on Markey's percentage in Amherst? I'll say 84%. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Neal won and it isn't really even close. #MA01 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

In #MA04, Jesse Mermell (D) takes a 32%-21% lead over Jake Auchincloss (D) thanks to Brookline, but the question is whether that lead can survive incoming votes from the southern end of the district. — PolitiTweet.org

@MeghnaWBUR I'm generally sympathetic. But when a result is obvious - as is the case tonight - I think readers deserve to know sooner rather than later. That said, I will not be tweeting on election night in November. — PolitiTweet.org

The only remaining drama in MA is the Dem primary for Kennedy's open House seat, #MA04, which is a three-way race right now between Jake Auchincloss, Jesse Mermell and Becky Grossman. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

I've seen enough: Rep. Richard Neal (D) has defeated Alex Morse (D) in the #MA01 Democratic primary. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Somerville, MA just reported 23k votes, an even 80%-20% split for Markey. At this point it's just academic. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The better news for blue-collar Democrats is that Rep. Richard Neal (D) is looking pretty good right now in #MA01. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

I've seen enough: Sen. Ed Markey (D) has defeated Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D) in the #MASEN Democratic primary. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Sunderland, MA goes 69%-31% Markey. The Pioneer Valley is going to be a huge problem for Kennedy. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Also: it's likely too many of MA's blue-collar Catholics have become Trump voters for Kennedy's math to work. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

In the old days, if you were doing well w/ blue-collar Catholics (or your name was Kennedy), you were pretty much set in a MA Dem primary. Today, if you're doing well w/ I-495 Whole Foods shoppers and college town types, it's pretty hard to lose. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Keep in mind: we have a few of what I'd consider Kennedy's base towns/cities reporting (Somerset, Worcester, Randolph), but very little of what I'd consider Markey's base (the granola belt, more or less) reporting. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Markey and Kennedy more or less tied in Haverhill, MA (Kennedy ahead by 45 votes). This isn't looking like a blowout, but I'd still rather be Markey. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

In case you haven't noticed, this is a *really* high-turnout primary. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The nine-way #MA04 primary might be the most up-in-the-air Dem House race of the cycle. The winner could conceivably wind up with less than 25% of the vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Markey wins Weston w/ 68% and Stow w/ 66%. As expected, he's posting some big numbers w/ the Whole Foods crowd so far. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Markey wins Monroe, MA (pop. 121) 9 to 5. That is not a typo. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Kennedy leading in Randolph, MA (which is heavily non-white) 60%-40% so far. Unfortunately for Kennedy, there aren't a ton of Randolphs in the state. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

First few precincts in Newton, MA have Markey up 65%-35%. That's in Kennedy's congressional district, but it's not the part of #MA04 where Kennedy was expected to run up the score. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Out on Cape Cod, Markey taking 68% in Wellfleet and 58% in Eastham, per @DecisionDeskHQ. So far, Markey doing better in his base demographic than Kennedy doing in his. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The Democratic primary electorate in Massachusetts is a lot more liberal, college-educated and secular (less Catholic and working-class) than it used to be. In this primary, that works in Markey's favor. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The worst development for Alex Morse (D)'s challenge to Rep. Richard Neal (D): Amherst and Northampton were carved out of #MA01 in 2011. — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Rep. Richard Neal (D) leading in Springfield, MA (where he used to be mayor) 67%-33% so far. If that holds, he shouldn't have much of a problem. #MA01 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

The first precinct in Holyoke, MA just reported and Rep. Richard Neal (D) is beating his progressive challenger, Holyoke Mayor Alex Morse, there 53%-47%. Good sign for Neal so far. #MA01 — PolitiTweet.org

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

It's early but I'd much rather be Markey right now based on what I'm seeing. #MASEN — PolitiTweet.org
