UPDATE: Unofficial results from 10:55 pm (290 out of 290 precincts reporting). No change to the Sneed-Branch race in D13, but in D7 challenger Nick Mosby is ending way ahead of ejected incumbent Belinda Conaway -- 2,936 votes to her 626.
Turnout for today's Baltimore City election was expected to be low -- and early reports verified that prediction. But Maryland Juice earlier noted that low turnout might provide write-in candidates their best chance at success. This is noteworthy since B'more voters had two interesting write-in campaigns within their city today: District 7 City Councilmember Belinda Conaway launched a write-in campaign after losing the Democratic Primary to challenger Nick Mosby; District 13, challenger Shannon Sneed launched a write-in campaign after coming 43 votes short in the Democratic Primary against incumbent Warren Branch.
Unfortunately for both write-in candidates, every single Democratic Primary victor is currently leading in the General Election, according to returns trickling out of the Board of Elections website (current as of 10:24 pm).
