State primary results are in; relatively few Wellesley voters went to polls

Only 4% of more than 16,000 registered Wellesley voters hit the polls on Thursday for the state primary election, in which there was just one contested race locally. That was for the 3rd district’s governor’s council  on Democratic ballots, and while Newton’s Bill Humphrey was favored among Wellesley voters, Watertown’s Marilyn Petitto Devaney won the nomination.
