Kratovil: Voter support "heartwarming"

Like Andy Harris, Frank M. Kratovil Jr. is spending the day with family while waiting for election officials to begin counting absentee ballots in the First Congressional District. The Democratic state's attorney for Queen Anne's County has issued the following statement:

“It’s heartwarming that so many people, Republicans, Democrats and Independents, came out and supported my candidacy for United States Congress. Yesterday, that support carried me to a clear lead in this election at the polling places even as John McCain carried our District by a significant margin. It is my hope that we will see this trend carry over to the absentee ballot totals as well.

"The most important thing right now is to make sure all remaining votes are counted; representatives from my campaign will work with the Board of Elections in each county to make sure this process goes smoothly.”
