Sen. Cheryl Kagan (D-17) has been following election issues closely. Today, she reports on her twitter feed that Montgomery County Board of Elections Director Margaret Jurgenson has agreed to report election results from the June primary by ballot style and party.

For Montgomery County, this means that election results should be reported for each party for each of our three congressional districts. All of the other contests for president, judges and school board will be countywide.

The Maryland State Board of Elections is leaving the reporting of primary results below the county level up to each county. It is a pity that they say that they cannot produce precinct results for the primary. Having failed this go-around, both the state and the county ought to take the steps necessary to produce them for the November general election.
