Marc Elrich moves ahead of David Blair in Montgomery County Executive election results


After catching up to within 21 votes of challenger David Blair over the weekend, incumbent Marc Elrich surged back into first place in the Democratic contest for Montgomery County Executive Monday night. The Montgomery County Board of Elections updated election results last night to show Elrich retaking the lead with 49,804 votes (39.29%) to Blair's 49,684 votes (39.20%). Counting of mail-in ballots will resume at 10:00 AM this morning at the Germantown campus of Montgomery College.

    Why not mention that the margin is now 20 votes in favor of Elrich, an shift of 41 votes from the previous count? That is the number that matters.

    That said, I like the move towards real-time posting of updates, rather than just automatically loading everything at 8:00 AM Eastern.

    Looks like a lead of 120 to me.
