With thousands of provisional ballots uncounted across Maryland, key races — including the Democratic primary for Baltimore County executive and hotly contested state legislative races — are undecided.
A late-discovered computer glitch forced as many as 80,000 voters to cast provisional ballots Tuesday, delaying the outcomes of some election results up and down the ballot.
State officials blamed the problems on the Motor Vehicle Administration, which failed to forward information to the Maryland Board of Elections after voters used the MVA to update their registration information. The errors sparked outrage and calls for an audit.
Only hundreds of votes separated the leading candidates for the Democratic nomination for Baltimore County executive and several key legislative races.
