Election officials closed the lines to vote Tuesday at 8 p.m. Anybody in line by that time is allowed to vote. Polling locations will close when everybody in line has voted. Maryland will only release the results for statewide races when every polling place in the state has closed. That means there are not yet any results available in the governor's race. Unofficial ballot counts from early voting are now available for county contests. Early voting data for statewide races will be posted shortly. Refresh this story soon for more information.
