Was he? It seemed to me that a journalist was asking him about it and he said he doesn't care and that it doesn't affect him. - Blair voter

Counting beyond ten is a challenge for most.

3) both the county employees AND the citizen volunteers are working their asses off. They should be getting praise from the County Executive.

I agree with everything EXCEPT county employees "working their asses off". Perhaps? But they only need to put in a hard shift once every two years. I think we should expect more.


Ballots have to be examined by both a democrat and republican or independent volunteer for the vote to count. Those are volunteers, typically elderly. Granny can't move that fast.

Every county in Maryland has completed their full vote count at this stage except for Montgomery County, who still have not completed mail-in ballots and haven’t even started with provisional ballots. There can be no more excuses for what is clearly incompetence.


Well then Elrich is incompetent because he’s their boss.

Surely. Poor leadership and lack of care or attention to competent governance is why progressive politics are nonsense.

Which is exactly why RCV is a bad idea. Can you imagine every election taking weeks to count with multiple permutations. No one would believe the results.

Typical Elrich. It's always someone else's fault. Never mind these employees are under his purview. No surprise that he's not well-loved by the rank-and-file county workers.

I agree they've been working their butts off. It's an unexpectedly high number of mail-in votes. They're counting 10-20k per day.
