BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. (WBFF) — Baltimore County election officials expect to spend much of the week counting thousands of remaining mail-in and provisional ballots, with results in several closely contested races potentially not finalized until Friday.
There were still more than 20,000 mail-in ballots left to be counted as workers continued on Monday night, county elections director Ruie Lavoie said. The mail-in ballot canvass is expected to continue for at least the next three days.
Election officials are also processing roughly 12,000 provisional ballots, which are expected to be canvassed Thursday, Lavoie said. She anticipates certifying the election results late Friday.
The contest for the District 5 council seat is still the narrowest of the three races. After canvassing Sunday, Democrat Shawn McIntosh took a 311-vote lead over incumbent Republican Councilman Nino Mangione.
