#Baltimore police are arresting fewer minors than they were in 2018 and 2019, but prosecutors are charging a greater portion of them — about 25-30% — as adults. Pre-pandemic, that rate was about 12%.

Big news: @CouncilmanETC concedes to @blanchard4bmore in the D11 race.

Story will be updated soon: https://t.co/VYYEXIVvM3

[Ben Conarck @conarck]

New: After lawmakers mandated counties create "police accountability boards" to handle citizen complaints, the top prosecutor overseeing Ocean City, who is married to a high-ranking officer there, started criminally charging people over their inaccuracies. https://t.co/hp0DTAUVVI

Ballot counting in Baltimore is about to resume again. Three council races (8th, 11th and 12th districts) remain too close to call, though three candidates have maintained their slight edges since election night (yesterday’s story by @pwoodreporter): https://t.co/hthN3omPCF

Shortly after I tweeted this, I started hearing murmurings that @MDPublicSafety was downplaying it in a major way and it was not repaired. @MarylandOPD just put out a press release saying the issue was ongoing as of yesterday, described conditions as "beyond unconscionable."

[Emily Opilo @emilyopilo]

Baltimore is getting started on mail-in ballot counting now. They hope to count 24,000 today which is a pretty swift pace for them. Staff have been asked to stay until 7 pm

[Mileah Kromer @MileahKromer]

FWIW, undecideds on polls have to go somewhere on Election Day. Polls are snapshots not crystal balls. The margin of error is real.

I have no doubt that Trone—given the amt of campaign spending relative to Alsobrooks—was leading until the waning weeks.

NTSB dropping Key Bridge report on Election Day is very not chill

Your bi-annual reminder that every vote matters

[Emily Opilo @emilyopilo]

Big wow from Baltimore's 11th District... With all 19 precincts reporting, Councilman Eric Costello leads challenger Zac Blanchard by just 25 votes. An unknown number of mail-in ballots remain to be counted.

[Emily Opilo @emilyopilo]

AP has called the Baltimore mayoral race for Brandon Scott. Dixon has left her party, and her camp says she will not be commenting tonight. Scott is set to speak shortly.
