Montgomery County elections officials identified 102 uncounted provisional ballots Thursday, just before they planned to certify results in a Democratic primary race for county executive separated by 42 votes.
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. Because the results had been already certified, the local board the results Wednesday morning, before staff members re-scanned all mail-in and provisional ballots. That process was completed Wednesday, resolving the issue and bringing the margin in the council race down to just one vote.Frederick County Election Director Barbara Wagner said the mistake was an opportunity to show people 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 the 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.
