unanswered about PG County — PG had close Board of education results. So close that they did a recount without being asked to. Within 50 votes. Both candidates had names on the ballot, so, …………… (drumroll) did they look at the write- ins? Did anyone write either of them in? Did anyone skip the slot + write them in, instead? They should have gone over the write- ins to see if someone decided to do the alternate method + write them in. You can’t tell by looking at the results whether the write- ins were considered.
