This is going to be a short diary for those interested in the MD-01 seat bewteen Frank Kratovil and Andy Harris.
As you may know, Kratovil was up around 1000 votes as of this morning, and absentee ballots are being counted now.
Just got a call from somebody at the absentee count in Anne Arundel County, and the news is very good.
In Anne Arundel, Kratovil won the absentee ballots, which means he did better with the absentees than he did in the County on Election Day.
Apparently, he has also won Somerset and Kent County absentees as well.
As of right now, Kratovil has added 500 votes to his total count, so he is roughly ahead by 1500 votes.
Considering 60% of the absentee ballots came from the Eastern Shore (Kratovil's base), things are looking very, very good, and (knock on wood) we could be saying hello to Congressman Frank Kratovil by the end of the week.
And we have him and all his volunteers to thank for holding off the Draconian Andy Harris.
