David Blair still ahead of Marc Elrich as vote-counting continues in Montgomery County Executive race


Businessman David Blair is still ahead of incumbent Marc Elrich by a nose in the Democratic primary contest for Montgomery County Executive. Montgomery County Board of Elections results reported after another day of counting Friday at 8:11 PM now show Blair remaining in first place with 46,824 votes (39.32%), and Elrich right behind with 46,693 votes (39.21%). After a day off Thursday, counting is scheduled to continue for three consecutive days through Monday, resuming at 10:00 AM this morning at the Germantown campus of Montgomery College, but election officials have warned that a final tally may come as late as August 12. Mail-in ballots were actually still being accepted as late as yesterday if they were postmarked by July 19, which means as of today, there will be no additional ballots being added to the pile of still-to-be-counted votes.

    1. Then volunteer. It's embarrassing to complain about the pace of volunteers if you're just sitting on your ass contributing nothing.

  5. The fact that it’s even close is embarrassing. Blair is superior and desperately needed leadership change. Elrich touted one of his economic accomplishments as “waiving overdue library fines during Covid”, but kept libraries and businesses closed as he had no clue what he was doing. He should have been recalled and God willing he gets sent packing. Tim Carneys Washington Examiner Article is a must read: “The Wretched Marc Elrich has Ruined Montgomery County” I have never read a more accurate, more comprehensive and complete summary of an elected leaders incompetence and personal fealty to a whacked out liberal ideology. Go David Go!

    1. I support Nr. David Blair and believe that he is a good listener and approachable. He will win this time and will do a good job. However, to discredit Mr. Elrich used a sound judgment in controlling the deadly COVID-19 and variants.
      If the virus is not dying for good, it is because of people who do not take this deadly virus serious and chasing like a dog chasing the tail.

  7. Did Elrich convince Riemer to run to divide up the vote so he could try to help his job?

  8. That is exactly what I was thinking. Alot of those Reimer votes, would be Blair votes, in my opinion
