[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They corrected the early voting results and David Blair gained one vote. [/quote] I don’t think Blair will pull this one off.[/quote]
true, but progressives should take note of the teeny tiny margin that Elrich won by.[/quote]

There are multiple ways to read this.

Elrich is progressive and anti development
Riemer is progressive and pro-development
Blair is moderate and pro-development (but not as much of a hardcore YIMBY as Riemer)

You could say that 60% were agains Elrich, or somewhat more in favor of development, but you could also say 60% wanted a progressive over a moderate. [/quote]
MoCo leans progressive, and the majority of them live in TP/SS area where Elrich won most of the votes.  Go west of 270 and north of ICC, and you will see a lot more Blair support.[/quote]

Here’s a precinct map. Blair indeed won most of 355/270, especially west Bethesda and Potomac. Definitely all the mansion communities along River Road.

Elrich won TP/SS as expected, but also a lot of East County, Aspen Hill, some of Germantown, some of Rockville, and the whole Ag reserve. 
Also, despite assumptions that Elrich supporters are mostly old people, Blair won Leisure World.

Thanks for deleting my comment. I will just post it again.

I am sorry that you have a poor handle on the geography of Montgomery County but the claim that Elrich won “the whole Ag reserve” is indisputably false based on the very link you provided. The fact that you think the Ag Reserve is only west of 270 indicates that you don’t know much about Montgomery County.[/quote]
