Montgomery executive race: Elrich claims victory; Blair to request recount
His announcement came after nearly three weeks of tallying ballots, and as Elrich held an unofficial lead of 42 votes. The State Board of Elections tabulated eight additional provisional ballots on Sunday. Four went to Elrich, four to Blair.
The prolonged wait and tight margins echo the last clash between the two and their competing visions for the county. Elrich, an increasingly divisive figure in Montgomery politics whose approach to growth and development elicited sharp criticism this election cycle, edged Blair out by 77 votes in 2018 to secure his first term leading Maryland’s most populous county.
“Recounts rarely change anything. The last time we had a recount, it changed two votes,” Elrich said. “I feel pretty good, but nothing is a hundred percent.” According to unofficial results, Laurie-Anne Sayles was projected to win the nomination for the council’s fourth at-Large seat, joining incumbents Gabe Albornoz, Will Jawando and Evan Glass as the Democrats on the November ballot.And Dawn Luedtke was projected to win the Democratic nomination for District 7, joining newcomers Marilyn Balcombe, Kate Stewart, Kristin Mink and Natali Fani-González on the ballot in their respective districts.
