Six days after the election, the campaign for Maryland’s First Congressional District is still unresolved today, even though the Associated Press declared Democrat Frank Kratovil the winner over the weekend.

The AP reported Friday night that Republican Andy Harris could not over come a 2,000 vote deficit, even though provisional ballots, and another group of absentee ballots, including those of military serving overseas have yet to be counted.

Nearly 4,800 provisional ballots are due to be counted today in the 12 counties in the district.

Kratovil leads Harris in the nine counties on the Eastern Shore. Harris leads in the Western Shore portion of the district, which are portions of Harford, Baltimore and Anne Arundel Counties.

Harford County has the most provisional ballots with 800. Wicomico County has the second highest at 730.

Republican sources tell WBAL News that Harris would need more than 60% of the uncounted ballots to overtake Kratovil.
