Why hasn't that number moved in an hour? Seems fishy.

Not fishy, just wrong. For the past 45 minutes or so, it's been:
Democratic Party Bernstein Gregg L 19111
Democratic Party Jessamy Patricia C. 18336

Same count at 6 AM. Haven't the dead stopped voting in West Baltimore?

When they finish counting, is Bernstein going to come and pick up all the flyers laying around my neighborhood?
