#Baltimore police are arresting fewer minors than they were in 2018 and 2019, but prosecutors are charging a greater portion of them — about 25-30% — as adults. Pre-pandemic, that rate was about 12%. @WYPR881FM #juvenilejustice bit.ly/3YgQYUe

Ballot counting in Baltimore is about to resume again. Three council races (8th, 11th and 12th districts) remain too close to call, though three candidates have maintained their slight edges since election night (yesterday’s story by @pwoodreporter): thebaltimorebanner.com/polit…

Shortly after I tweeted this, I started hearing murmurings that @MDPublicSafety was downplaying it in a major way and it was not repaired. @MarylandOPD just put out a press release saying the issue was ongoing as of yesterday, described conditions as "beyond unconscionable."

I asked @MDPublicSafety about a social media post saying water has been out at a Baltimore detention center, leaving people unable to shower, wash hands or flush toilets. The department says the issue was identified on Sunday and repaired yesterday.

Baltimore is getting started on mail-in ballot counting now. They hope to count 24,000 today which is a pretty swift pace for them. Staff have been asked to stay until 7 pm

FWIW, undecideds on polls have to go somewhere on Election Day. Polls are snapshots not crystal balls. The margin of error is real. I have no doubt that Trone—given the amt of campaign spending relative to Alsobrooks—was leading until the waning weeks. thebaltimorebanner.com/polit…

Your bi-annual reminder that every vote matters
Big wow from Baltimore's 11th District... With all 19 precincts reporting, Councilman Eric Costello leads challenger Zac Blanchard by just 25 votes. An unknown number of mail-in ballots remain to be counted.

"It's not over, We're not throwing in the towel," says Sheila Dixon. She's going home knowing that it could be a while before all votes are counted, especially in West Baltimore. As she left the stage, her supporters began singing hymns of blessings for her.
