Monday evening Blair was ahead by 134. He is currently ahead by 145. |
I'm happy to hear this. MoCo doesn't appeal to me, but it would be sad to watch the further decline from a distance if Elrich got another term. At least MoCo could tread water with Blair. |
Incompetent Democratic administrative state. Hard to argue for more state involvement in the economy when these folks cannot properly run basic and fundamental functions. |
Fixed it for you. |
| So they did no counting yesterday either? The email I got when they got my ballot said the expected to finish counting by July 29. I don’t know how they expected that if they were planning to take multiple days off. I sympathize with the fact that they have a lot of ballots, but they’ve actually got show up to do the counting. |
I wonder why someone like you would post about something that "doesn't appeal to you?" |
I agree with you, but it's a group of volunteers doing the counting. I believe they equal numbers of democrats and republicans must be part of the process. It might be really difficult getting enough republicans as volunteers, simply because there aren't all that many in Montgomery county. |
There was a period where we spent more time in MoCo. Wouldn't want to live there now, but there are some good restaurants, and overall it would be better for the entire region if it didn't decline further. |
They require on Democratc and one Republican or Independent to examine each ballot. It's a boring and thankless job. |
Ok, but if they were so strapped for volunteers, where was the recruitment drive to get more? I heard nothing about lack of volunteers until after Election Day. |
+1 look it's not an excuse for Hogan vetoing the bill to allow earlier counting, but honestly. Montgomery County is the only county that hasn't finished its first batch of mail in ballots or reported any provisional ballots. I volunteered in the past to be an election judge and heard nothing this time around. They have my info. |
which is why it was truly disgusting for those Trumpsters to threaten the volunteers who, as you noted, are both R and D. |
There have been no updates to the reported numbers since Tuesday so far as I can tell. What in the world are they doing? |
Well they’ve been pretty clear. They had plenty for June. But lost a bunch when the election was pushed back to July. |
They updated on Wednesday. If you go to 777vote.org they lay out the whole process. |
