Well, that's my hope at least... I figure older people more likely to vote for Elrich because of his great Covid lockdowns, including keeping public libraries and playgrounds closed while all surrounding jurisdictions had already reopened them.

Elrich was always expected to do well with the mail-in vote. It is a demographic that generally trends older which favors him. What was unexpected is how well he would do.

It is pretty clear at this stage that Elrich will win. The only question will be the margin of victory.

Hans Riemer should be ashamed of himself.

Not yet, let's give it a few more days. If the trend continues, then yes. But his percentage of votes was lower with yesterday's count than it was from Thursday's.

The idea that Blair is going to make up votes among the remaining mail-in and provisional ballots is far fetched. The mail-in voter population is not representative of the county as a whole.

The BOE guy said there were another 27,000 in their warehouse that have not yet been logged in are received. And the 9,000 provisional ballots, which couldn't have even been created until early voting, won't get counted until the 29th, by law. I am one of the provisional ballots. I did it during early voting because i never got my mail in ballot.

Those last 27,000 and 9,000 ballots are late enough to favor Blair. Similar to how early voting favored Blair. I certainly can't say he will win, but this isn't over quite yet.

They are not being counted in order received. They are being collected and counted by precinct.

well then Dr. Zelaya lied during Wednesday's media briefing. Why?

Ok, then which precincts are being counted first? During election day counts, it was obvious 4, 5, 6 council districts were being counted first, and they obviously favored Elrich.

You must not want a police department either.
