EASTON, MARYLAND — Dan Cox, the Republican candidate for governor, leads Wes Moore, the Democrat, 8,478 votes to 7,460 in Talbot County, according to the State Board of Elections' unofficial results as of this morning. That is 51.59% to 45.40% of the 16,433 votes counted so far in the governor's race. All 12 of 12 election-day precincts are reported. The page shows provisional ballots as not reported.
Talbot voters could choose up to five candidates for County Council, and the unofficial totals put these five highest: Chuck F. Callahan III (R), 8,318; Pete Lesher (D), 8,053; Dave Stepp (R), 7,896; Wade Strickland (R), 7,753; and Frank Gunsallus (R), 7,661. Susan E. Delean-Botkin (D) is sixth with 7,365, which is 296 votes behind Gunsallus. Behind her are Christian MacKendrick (R), 7,289; Marvin Foster (D), 6,966; Brian R. Naranjo (D), 6,882; and Michael Bibb (D), 6,743.
The numbers will move. The governor's race already includes 1,856 mail-in ballots, and the state page marks provisional ballots "NR," for not reported. Talbot's Board of Elections will keep counting under its published schedule, all at its office at 215 Bay St., Suite 7, in Easton: a mail-in ballot canvass Thursday, Nov. 5, at 10 a.m.; a provisional ballot canvass and a second mail-in canvass Thursday, Nov. 12, at 10 a.m.; and the second mail-in canvass and certification of the election Friday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m.
After certification, the board lists a post-certification canvass on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 9:30 a.m. and a risk-limiting audit on Tuesday, Nov. 24, at 10 a.m. The board asks anyone planning to attend any of its events to call 410-770-8099.
