Margaret Moore garnered the most votes in the Democratic primary for Travis County District Attorney, unofficial results show.

She received 59.75 percent of the vote, or 65,441 votes, to Gary Cobb's 34.1 percent of the vote, or 37,348 votes, and Rick Reed's 6.15 percent of the vote, or 6,735 votes.

"This is an amazing result," Moore said of the election. "I fully expected to be in a runoff."

Although he could not be reached for comment, earlier in the day Reed posted on his political website that he was encouraging his supporters to vote for Moore. He stated it was "obvious that [he would] not receive enough votes to advance to the runoff" and Margaret Moore was "imminently qualified to serve as our next District Attorney." Reed said he voted for Moore, citing her "impeccable honesty and integrity."

"[Reed] and I met at the beginning of this race and along the way we were often saying the same things about the changes needed in the D.A.'s office," Moore said. "It is a real honor [to have his support]."

She said she will take a couple of days off following tonight's victory.

"I am so proud of the support I received across the county," Moore said. "We will begin planning our race to win in November."
