COLUMBIA, S.C. — Senator Graham of South Carolina easily won his primary yesterday against a fellow Republican who hammered his ties to Senator McCain. In Virginia, early results showed a county official beating a former congresswoman in the bitter Democratic contest for the seat being vacated by a retiring Republican, Rep. Tom Davis. And in Maine, Democrats chose Rep. Tom Allen over political newcomer Tom Ledue in a Senate primary while both parties settled hard-fought races in the 1st Congressional District in the southern part of the state.
