» Light voting in city: The percentage of turnout so far in Baltimore is 6.5 percent. That’s below 2016 levels, but slightly above 2014. The city is a key jurisdiction that Jealous needs to turn out big for him. But the city has few competitive down-ballot races, dampening turnout. On the Eastern Shore, where there’s a competitive race for Congress between Republican Rep. Andy Harris and Democratic challenger Jesse Colvin, turnout has been robust (20.4 percent in Talbot County, 15.3 percent in Queen Anne’s County and 14.4 percent in Kent County). Jurisdictions with competitive races for county executive also have seen better-than-average turnout (13 percent in Howard, 10.4 percent in Baltimore County and 10.3 percent in Anne Arundel). “Jurisdictions with more competitive races seem to be getting more of the early vote,” Eberly said.
