Baltimore’s final in-person vote totals updated late Wednesday after missing flash drives found

Returns from Baltimore’s in-person voting on primary day were delayed about 24 hours Wednesday as election officials searched for missing flash drives containing vote totals for 12 city precincts. Elections Director Armstead Jones said Wednesday the flash drives were not hand delivered to the central office Tuesday night as required. Staff searched for the drives as they processed election equipment returned from each of the city’s 296 precincts. Jones said the drives are sometimes tucked into cabinets or bags when equipment is returned.
