Montgomery County election officials identified about 100 uncounted provisional ballots in the primary race just a day before they planned to certify results.
Similar to the situation in Montgomery, the Frederick County Board of Elections identified a discrepancy between the number of votes counted and the number of ballots received earlier this week. Election officials in Frederick said they believed that 96 ballots had been counted twice and four provisional ballots had been misplaced.Frederick election officials identified the issue while preparing for a recount in a local council race separated by just three votes.
Frederick County Election Director Barbara Wagner said the mistake was an opportunity to show people that there are systems in place to catch errors and account for every ballot. “Our mission is for fair, free, safe, accurate elections,” Wagner said in an interview Wednesday morning. The Democratic nominee for Montgomery County executive will face Republican Reardon Sullivan in November, though this deep-blue county has not elected a Republican county executive since the 1970s. The Montgomery County Board of Elections is scheduled to meet at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
