The Maryland primaries were a week ago. But many races remain unsettled. This is due to a large number of mail-in ballots and the statute that prevents jurisdictions from counting votes until two days after polls have closed. Here’s where we are now with victory squares for our endorsed candidates who have definitely won their primary.
The Montgomery County Executive race is a nailbiter. As of Sunday morning July 31st, Big Pharma multi-millionaire David Blair leads our choice incumbent Marc Elrich by only 31 votes. Blair was ahead by over a thousand votes in the first count. But Marc won the first mail-in/absentee ballots decisively. The last three daily counts have favored Blair. We are concerned that more recently mailed votes are breaking for Blair because of the late influx of dark Silicon Valley money targeting the County Executive.
