Last night, the tally in MD-01 was as follows:
Frank Kratovil (D): 160,780
Andy Harris (R): 159,787
A few more votes were added to that tally, bringing Kratovil’s lead down to 915 votes.
Well, a fresh batch of votes are in, and Kratovil’s lead has grown:
Frank Kratovil (D): 167,101
Andy Harris (R): 165,230
That still means that there are about 12,000 (or so) votes left to be counted by my best estimate, but this one is looking good.

any idea how Obama performed in the district?

I gotta admit. Since the election is over I’m feeling as though I don’t have much to do anymore.
at the top of this this Baltimore Sun story:
1st District race may take week to settle
There are more lawyers watching those last votes being counted than there are vote counters!
He’s up by about 1600 with only Somerset county out (which Kratovil won). Harris has reason to concede tonight but my guess is he’ll wait for provisionals.
Also its possible a lot of votes in Harford County (one of the two best counties for Harris) might get disqualified. (http://www.politickermd.com/danielreiter/4140/battle-over-absentee-ballots-harris-camp-claims-kratovil-trying-disenfranchise-vot)
He’s not up by 1997 votes according to the latest stats from the Maryland Board of Elections.
