Marc Elrich is still ahead of David Blair in the Democratic Montgomery County Executive race, as mail-in ballots continue to favor the incumbent over his businessman challenger. As of 11:00 PM last night, Elrich has 38,859 votes (39.36%) and Blair is extremely close behind at 38,583 (39.08%). That means it's still anybody's game, but Elrich voters' spirits surely are buoyed by another consecutive day of mail-in counting going his way. Today will be a day of suspended suspense - and one of rest for the volunteers doing the hard work - as the Montgomery County Board of Elections canvassing schedule shows Sunday, July 24, as a day off from counting.
Another year, another miraculous comeback via mail-in ballots. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteBlair could request a recount could he not? Or has the one party cabal in this county forbidden it?
ReplyDelete@2:34 Yes he can. In the previous election where he lost by only 77 votes, there was a recount. I think it may even be automatic with such a slim margin.
ReplyDelete4:51 - Thanks!
DeleteWhen one is owned by the unions, anything is possible! In his possible numeric victory, he will always be a loser.look what has happened to Moco under his lack of leadership.
ReplyDeleteIf Elrich wins, will those voters who detest Marc turn to Sullivan as an alternative? Or just stay home election day?
ReplyDelete@2:00 I'll vote Sullivan if Elrich beats Blair. As of this writing, Blair's ahead by 134 votes.
