They could still provide a nightly update. Other counties are.

I think she will be a good council member. I wanted Jacqueline Manger, who has similar spouse name recognition. But she deliberately waited to run for office until after her husband no longer worked for the county.

Why are they not posting updates at the SBOE site? Will they at least provide an updated tally at the end of the day?


Yes, they said there would be an update at the end of each day of counting.

They have not updated anything.

Some of the smaller rural counties have updated, I assume because they finished. Day of counting must not be officially over yet.

Because the Republican states and cities do so much to actively and deliberately restrict voting that it’s not “news” when it happens?

Not to doubt either of you, but to me at least, criticism like this don’t mean very much without some sort of verifiable data to support them. I didn’t vote for Blair for similar reasons. I couldn’t find any genuine evidence of community focused efforts and accomplishments on his part. Once he decided to be a politician, what did he do between elections that would suggest that he’ll be a good one? I share the concerns about politicians who only care about certain groups, rather than all of their constituents. I’d like to be proven wrong though, with Blair.

? What do you want? A copy of the email? I still have it, btw. I pay a sh1t ton in taxes. The least that office could do for me is be respectful of my opinions, right? It starts from the top.


A copy of the relevant passages from the email would be great. Thanks.

And I agree that the office staff should treat you respectfully. They should treat everyone respectfully.
I’ll add that as constituents, we should treat them respectfully as well.

Oh, my email to them was very respectful, acknowleding the hardships of covid for many (I grew up low income, and I shudder when I think if covid had hit when I was in ES), but they didn't even acknowledge my concerns. They assumed I was a rich person who didn't understand the struggles of the poor. I also stated how proud I was of this county for the high vaxx rate and attempt to adhere to masking prior to the vaxx, but that evidence had been mounting that 1. covid isn't a great risk to children 2. but the extended virtual school did hurt children.

No, I don't feel comfortable sharing the email on here.


Ok, I can understand not wanting to share the email. Sharing the general tone of your email does make it easier for me to trust the accuracy of your assessment, which I, too, would view as being highly problematic.
I very much appreciate your response!

Yup this happened to both of my family's housesholds in Bethesda (they live in the same neighborhood). No one got their requested mail-in ballots and they had to go in person on Election Day.

My polling place had a choice between a machine and pen/paper, so machine issues would not have been an issue.
