Vote counting continues in Maryland after bomb threats
Maryland elections officials went back to work Saturday after several county elections offices in Maryland received bomb threats.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. – Maryland elections officials went back to work Saturday after several county elections offices in the state received bomb threats.
The source of those threats remains under investigation but in Montgomery County, canvassers gathered again today and continued their work.
FOX 5 was told the threats came in to the elections office itself on Friday. The canvassing for Montgomery County happens about 10 minutes away from that office and while Friday was not a canvassing day for Montgomery County, Saturday was.
Elections Board President David Naimon said workers were undeterred.
“Everybody showed up today. The work got done. We have a very dedicated group,” David Naimon, president of the Montgomery County Board of Elections said.
“At the start of every canvass session, I ask the room how many of you were here last time, how many of you worked early voting, how many of you voted on Election Day? It’s shocking the number of people who keep coming back and keep coming back because they’re dedicated to this process.”
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says his office is closely working with state and local officials on the bomb threats at local Board of Elections locations throughout Maryland. I would like to thank the first responders working to ensure the safety of our election officials and our communities, adding that law enforcement will work to find out who was responsible.
The head of elections in Maryland said those elections offices were evacuated when they got the threats yesterday, saying this is madness and it must stop and called the threats cowardly.
On Election Day, bomb threats were sent to several precincts. The FBI indicated they appeared to have a Russian origin but there’s no word on where today’s threats may have come from.
Counting in Montgomery County resumes again on Monday.
After suffering just their second loss of the season against Oregon State on Tuesday, the USC baseball team looked to get back on track over the weekend when they traveled across the country for a three-game series at Maryland. It was not the prettiest, but the Trojans were able to take the series, winning two of their three games against the Terrapins.
On Friday, USC jumped out to an early lead and survived late. After leading 10-2 through three innings, the Trojans survived a late Maryland rally and emerged with an 11-10 victory.
On Saturday, the team suffered just its third loss of the season, falling 6-4. On Sunday, however, the Trojans came out hungry for payback and delivered just that, winning 14-4 in an eight-inning mercy rule affair.
USC has now won all seven of its series to open the season, including all four in Big Ten play. The Trojans now sit at 26-3 on the year and 10-2 in conference.
USC will now return to the West Coast for a matchup with UC Santa Barbara at Dedeaux Field on Tuesday night. They will then head to Westwood next weekend for a three-game series against rival UCLA. With both teams currently ranked in the top ten, it sets up to be the biggest baseball Crosstown Showdown in many years.
A reckless endangerment charged has been added in the case of a man charged after a 7-year-old boy fired a gun inside a Maryland elementary school in early February.
A new charge was added to the accidental gun discharge case from February that’s tied to an Anne Arundel County school.
Court records show that one count of reckless endangerment was filed against Eashan John Stefanski, a 34-year-old Pasadena man, Thursday.
He was initially charged with leaving a loaded firearm accessible to a minor in February, when a 7-year-old boy accidentally discharged a gun at Freetown Elementary School in Glen Burnie, Maryland.
The new charge was added more than a month after the incident, which saw the child suffer an injury to his hand.
Detectives found the gun was obtained from the boy’s home.
Stefanski is the boyfriend of the child’s mother, The Baltimore Banner reported.

A Republican-backed proposal to tighten oversight of nonprofits that receive taxpayer funding is moving forward in Annapolis, marking what supporters describe as a rare win for House Republicans.
The measure comes as recent estimates show about 9,000 Maryland nonprofits are listed as noncompliant with the state, despite many of them still receiving taxpayer dollars.
The proposal is not final. It still must pass the Senate before it can reach the governor’s desk.
David Williams of the Taxpayers Protection Alliance joined the broadcast to weigh in on the measure.
