Prince George's County Election Results Still Coming In

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Results were still being talled Nov. 7, one day after several Prince George's County polling sites ran out of ballots and stayed open late to let voters in line cast their ballots. In a top local position, former state's attorney Angela Alsobrooks received 273,490 votes, according to unofficials returns, to win the county executive job uncontested.

While Gov. Larry Hogan declared victory Tuesday night, Prince George's County was still awaiting some results due to a ballot shortage. On Wednesday morning, the state Board of Elections had not yet reported all precincts in Prince George's County.

Marjee Chmiel, 42, of Hyattsville, on Tuesday night told Capital News Service the line quickly grew when her polling place, Hyattsville Middle School, ran out of paper ballots about 5:30 p.m. Chmiel said she was one of the last few to get an electronic ballot, and soon after, the line built up to more than 200 people as everyone was waiting for more ballots to be delivered.

Chmiel estimated she and her husband waited nearly two hours to vote. Others in line behind them likely had to wait longer for the additional ballots to be delivered.

More than 1,000 people waited to vote in Prince George's County about 9 p.m. NBC Washington reported. Brandywine Elementary ran out of ballots around 4 p.m. and more ballots weren't delivered until four hours later. The station says it has confirmed these voting sites ran out of ballots: Faith United Methodist Church in Accokeek, Green Valley Academy in Temple Hills, Brandywine Elementary School and Upper Marlboro Community Center.

UPDATE 9:32 p.m.: People are still voting in Upper Marlboro, according to reports.

UPDATE 7:30 p.m.: Problems have cropped up in Prince George's County, as reports indicate that several precincts have run out of ballots:

Prince George's elections officials tell @NBC4ITeam more paper ballots have arrived at Upper Marlboro Community Ctr- and on way to 3 more precincts that ran out: Green Valley Academy in Temple Hills, Faith United Methodist in Accokeek & Brandywine Elementary #NBC4DC #ElectionDay

Governor

Republican incumbent Gov. Larry Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd K. Rutherford are running against Democratic challenger Ben Jealous and Susan Turbull.

Democrats have a two-to-one advantage over Republicans; yet, Gov. Hogan retains a double-digit lead over Jealous in the polls. An October Gonzales poll found Hogan to be ahead by 18 points. A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll, showed Hogan with a 20-point advantage.

Both candidates have made their rounds to different parts of Maryland to energize their bases.

On Oct. 31, Bernie Sanders rallied alongside Jealous in Bethesda. At the event, Jealous said this about the polls: "I taught everyone in the primary one lesson: Polls don't vote."

If Gov. Hogan wins, he will become the first Republican governor in Maryland to win re-election in more than 50 years. If Jealous wins, he'll make history as the state's first African-American governor.
