Calling the results “certain” in a tight rematch with Potomac businessman David Blair, incumbent Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich declared victory late Saturday, after the Associated Press deemed the contest too close to call.
His announcement came after nearly three weeks of tallying ballots, with just over 30 left to process, elections officials said, and as Elrich held an unofficial lead of 42 votes.
That race took nearly two weeks and also resulted in a recount — which changed two votes, Elrich noted in a tweet Saturday as people questioned whether the margin was decisive. This year, term-limited County Council member Hans Riemer and Gaithersburg resident Peter James also competed in the closely watchedeager to cast themselves as effective alternatives to Elrich.
