Results from last Tuesday’s Primary Election in Maryland (which was in and of itself a debacle<\/a>), have apparently been scrubbed<\/i> from the Maryland Board of Elections website<\/a>! As of right now, 6:36pm ET, no election totals are currently available on the site after they’ve previously been there all week as counting has continued.<\/p>\n

I’m currently on the air and thus not able to look into it further, so I’ve not been able to get any explanation for this. But I thought you should know. A screenshot from one of the pages (they are all<\/i> currently zeroed out!) is below…<\/p>\n

UPDATE 7:23pm ET:<\/b> Courtesy of HuffCrimeBlog.com’s<\/a> Steve Huff, here’s a screenshot from the Google archives<\/a> of the same page above as it was seen on 9\/14\/06 with all of the unofficial results still being added…<\/p>\n

I’ve tried to contact the MD Board of Elections by phone, but it’s after hours and nobody is currently answering. Just FYI. If anybody has any luck in the morning or additional info on any of this, please let me know!<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9\/20\/06 11:20am ET:<\/b> Website numbers are currently back up. Will try to learn what happened and report back when I do. No idea if the numbers now restored will synch up with what was there before they were zeroed out. We’ve seen similar computer drop-outs, only to be restored later with races flipped (in the 2004 Ohio Presidential and in the 2005 Ohio Hackett\/Schmidt race, for example) but never this late after Election Day. We’ll keep our eye on it and try to get more for you later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
