巴尔的摩县第五选区计票收窄 曼乔内领先优势缩至190票
11月7日，巴尔的摩县议会第五选区计票继续收窄，共和党现任议员尼诺·曼乔内对民主党挑战者肖恩·麦金托什的领先优势已缩至190票。据《巴尔的摩太阳报》7日上午报道，随着邮寄选票陆续清点，该选区以及另外两个尚未决出胜负的县议会选区差距都在缩小，仍有数千张邮寄选票有待统计。
曼乔内在选举之夜曾领先1200多票，6日首轮邮寄选票清点后优势降至848票，7日进一步缩至190票。第九选区中，共和党人蒂姆·法曾贝克领先民主党人阿基娅·韦德983票；另一选区共和党人乔希·赛恩斯同样保持领先。目前三个选区均未有媒体确认胜负，计票工作预计至少持续至7日，邮寄选票与临时选票仍在处理中，11月3日的选举定于11月13日认证。
巴尔的摩县议会选举此次竞争激烈，邮寄选票成为决定胜负的关键。选举官员提醒，最终结果以认证后的官方统计为准，在全部选票清点完毕前，任何一方均未锁定胜局。

Mangione's Lead in Baltimore County District 5 Shrinks to 190 Votes as Counting Continues
Counting in Baltimore County Council District 5 tightened further on Nov. 7, with Republican incumbent Nino Mangione's lead over Democratic challenger Shawn McIntosh down to 190 votes. The Baltimore Sun reported Saturday morning that as mail ballots continue to be counted, all three undecided county council races are narrowing, with thousands of mail ballots still to be tallied.
Mangione led by more than 1,200 votes on election night; after the first mail-ballot count on Nov. 6 his lead fell to 848, and on Nov. 7 to 190. In District 9, Republican Tim Fazenbaker leads Democrat Arkia Wade by 983 votes, and Republican Josh Sines also holds a lead in another district. No outlet has called any of the three races. Counting is expected to continue at least through Nov. 7, with mail and provisional ballots still being processed; the Nov. 3 election is set to be certified on Nov. 13.
The Baltimore County Council races have been fiercely contested, with mail ballots proving decisive. Election officials remind voters that final results rest on the certified official tally, and until every ballot is counted, neither side has locked up victory.
