Maryland 6th district race too close to call - Trone vs Parrott apart by 1277 votes [View all]

There hasn't been much reporting on the extremely close race between incumbent Democratic Rep. David Trone and Republican Neil C. Parrott in the redrawn 6th District in Maryland. All other congressional races in the state have been called.

So I looked at the most recent numbers this morning (11/11) on NBC4 Washington's website, and there are only 1277 votes separating them, with 92% of the votes counted.

Parrott has a thin lead with 104,859 votes, while Trone trails with 103,577 ballots tallied as of today.

The five counties represented in the district are still counting mail-in ballots, according to the Frederick News-Post. This article was published November 9.

"As of 6 p.m. on Tuesday — two hours before the deadline that mail-in ballots had to be postmarked or dropped off — 72,025 mail-in ballots had been sent to voters in the 6th Congressional District and 46,375 ballots had been received.

By Election Day, local boards of election had tallied 13,203 of those ballots, leaving 33,172 left to be counted in the district.

Of the five counties included in the 6th District, all but one — Garrett County — started counting mail-in ballots before Election Day. Frederick, Allegany and Washington counties will resume counting on Thursday, and Montgomery County will resume counting on Saturday.

Garrett County will start counting mail-in ballots on Thursday."

I'm not sure how many uncounted ballots remain as of today, but there's still a chance that Trone could win if the mail-in ballots run in his favor.
