We all knew the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics would be counting extra carefully tonight after the Sept. 9 primary debacle. Well now it’s officially later in the evening than it was during the February Potomac Primary when the DCBOEE released its first round of numbers. As of 9:50 p.m., there are still 0 percent of D.C.’s precincts reporting. Maryland, on the other hand, has at least 16 percent of its precincts reporting. How late do you think it’ll be before we get any numbers? We’re going with 10:37 p.m.
UPDATE: 10:41 p.m.! More to come. 10:45 p.m.: there’s only 20 out of 143 precincts reporting, but as of right now, Michael A. Brown is leading the competitive 2nd At-large D.C. Council spot. Brown has 19 percent of the vote to Patrick Mara’s 4,915 and 4,132 write-in candidates (presumably largely Carol Schwartz votes).
