With less than 1% reporting, Chaffetz is out to a 56-44 lead

3% in now and Chaffetz's lead holds... the big questions are of course Salt Lake and Utah counties. Chaffetz leads in the 2 precincts that have come in from Salt Lake thus far, but obviously very early numbers.

I think they tried to get rid of him. The 2002 (2004?) race was relatively competitive.

First numbers from Utah County in now and Chaffetz is ahead there. Real numbers in from Salt Lake now and Chaffetz continues to hold onto his lead there as well.

Methinks Cannon is screwed.

EDIT: Matheson barely survived in 2002

These counties are pretty homogeneous in their make up and results... it's not like we're dealing with Southern Democratic contests here.

I'll wait for a few more numbers out of Utah County before I'm 100% sure, but Cannon's going to have to do pretty amazingly well there to pull it off (and the results thus far indicate that won't happen).

Chaffetz up to 61% now.

Cannon is getting killed by Salt Lake...

More numbers in from Utah County and Cannon looks just as bad...

My understanding is that this was basically the "cheap labor from Mexicans" wing vs. the "we hate Mexicans" wing. The "we hate Mexicans" wing has clearly won out once again.

In the three primary contests this year that an incumbent was defeated in, they weren't narrow defeats - they were blow outs. Coincidence, or is there an explanation?

But why just these three districts? If it was some sort of widespread anger, wouldn't there be far more than this? This is just about average for a primary cycle thus far.

AP finally calls it. I'm not really surprised, but I don't think I expected this

Are the primaries in Utah closed?

Here's something interesting: The Politico reports that Chaffetz never hired any campaign staffers, and is highly unlikely to higher any in the general due to his near-assurance of winning.
