As the Carroll County Board of Elections began its count Thursday morning of 8,118 mail-in ballots, several candidates for the Board of Carroll County Commissioners said they are anxiously awaiting results. Elections Director Katherine Berry said Wednesday afternoon that the county had received a total of 9,345 mail-in ballots thus far, but only 8,118 would be counted Thursday.
