Surprise! Marc Elrich is still leading after another day of Montgomery County election results
Incumbent Marc Elrich ended yet another day of vote-counting ahead of challenger David Blair in the Democratic race for Montgomery County Executive on Friday. In fact, Elrich expanded his lead in the latest election results released last night. He now has 53,224 votes (39.29%) to Blair's 53,026 votes (39.14%). There are still thousands of provisional ballots to be counted when canvassing resumes at 10:00 AM this morning, at the Germantown campus of Montgomery College. That means that, mathematically, either candidate can still win.
Great. Another 4 years of the County Executive who imfamously suggested the Purple Line Light Rail be paired down from 2 tracks to 1 below Wisconsin Ave in Bethesda. Thank Goodness MDOT shut down the bone brained idea ! He’s ok in general but that idea was from the Left Wing Fruitcake Barn……..
ReplyDeleteRecount coming.
ReplyDelete60% did not vote for him. Sully has a real chance now if he can stress his public safety and business experience and remind people he denounced the attack on the Capitol as it was going down. He may be our next Connie Morella Republican.
