Northam Crushes Perriello In Arlington County

ARLINGTON, VA — The results are in, and it appears that Arlington County residents heavily favored Ralph Northam over Tom Perriello in the Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday.

With all precincts reporting, Northam -- who ultimately won the nomination -- scored 17,449 votes in Arlington County, while Perriello received only 10,718 votes. That's a margin of about 62 percent to 38 percent.

Arlington residents also cast votes in the Republican primary, although in far fewer numbers. Ed Gillespie, the ultimate winner of the Republican nomination, barely edged out Corey Stewart statewide, but his margin was a lot more comfortable in Arlington. He received 3,165 votes to Stewart's 1,326, with Frank Wagner receiving 660 votes.
