There wasn’t a whole lot of drama in last night’s election results around Wicomico County save for the slow pace of counting returns. But by the time all was counted, our fair county had mostly performed as expected – with a couple exceptions. All results are unofficial based on around 600 or so absentee ballots to be counted.
Beginning at the top of the ticket, it was expected that Martin O’Malley and Bob Ehrlich would participate in the ‘grudge match’ for governor and Wicomico’s results fell in line with statewide numbers. The O’Malley/Brown ticket garnered 81% of the Democratic vote in Wicomico while Ehrlich/Kane bested the Brian Murphy/Mike Ryman duo by a 71%-29% margin. Similarly, U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski routed her token opposition with 76 percent of the vote, easily beating Chris Garner’s 11 percent and four others with lesser numbers.
