More State Legislative Results

The result of the state legislative races remains fluid. According to the Baltimore Sun, absentee ballots have allowed Del. William Frank (R) to overtake Tracey Miller (D) for the third seat in District 42 (Baltimore County). In District 8, absentee ballots caused incumbent Del. Joseph Boteler, III (R) to vault from fourth to second place. Ruth Baisden (D) fell into fourth place as Todd Schuler (D) holds a 105 vote lead over his running mate for the third slot.

Gains made through absentee ballots reduce the number of Democratic gains in the House of Delegates from nine to seven. However, the Democrats will still control 105, or 74%, of the 141 seats in the House of Delegates. A few ballots still must be counted so I imagine results could continue to change.
