In Alabama’s 5th congressional district — currently represented by Democrat-turned-Republican Parker Griffith — there were contested primaries on both the Democratic side and the GOP side yesterday. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, 44,941 Democrats voted in their primary; 70,273 Republicans voted in their primary.

Mo Brooks, the winning Republican, had 35,712 votes in the GOP primary with only 50.8 percent of the vote; Steve Raby won the Democrat primary with 61.6 percent of the vote, but only 27,694 votes.

Those odds look pretty good for Mo Brooks.
