In school board races, Wicomico County led surge of social conservatives with final tally

Five socially conservative school board candidates in Maryland who were leading just after election night ended up losing when the counting of mail-in and provisional ballots was concluded this week. Those changes meant that 20 of the 41 socially conservative candidates identified by Capital News Service came out ahead in their races, down from 25 right after last month’s election, according to unofficial results posted on the Maryland Board of Elections website.
