Ok, Today is Election Day in many municipalities throughout the country. Well at least I think it is (most municipal elections appear to be next week). The only one I know of is in Frederick, Maryland. If anyone knows where I can see live results for that race or any other race in the country today, please use the comments to post them. I will occasionally post updates with anything interesting up here.
[Update]
Oh well, looks like we
lost in Frederick, MD. This is disappointing, I know we really wanted to hold this one:
Democratic mayoral candidate Ron Young on Tuesday conceded the election to his Republican counterpart, W. Jeff Holtzinger.
Just before 9 p.m., Young said he was more than 400 votes behind Holtzinger, an amount that he perceived to be insurmountable.
Holtzinger's victory means Democrats will no longer hold the top spot in City Hall, after Young defeated Mayor Jennifer Dougherty in the primary earlier this year.
The election was notable for its calm, cordial tone.
Newcomer Holtzinger is an attorney and former city engineer. Young, 65, a former four-term mayor, is a real-estate salesman and part-time administrator for the town of Indian Head. He defeated incumbent Mayor Jennifer P. Dougherty in the Democratic primary in September. Holtzinger upset the Republican favorite, Alderman Joseph W. Baldi.
