Votes for the 2024 general election were tabulated late into last night and early this morning, with local, state and national races being decided by varying margins. With about 80% of precincts reporting in Maryland and all precincts reporting in Anne Arundel County, the results are in for races in the greater Severna Park area.
The numbers below are as of 9:00am on November 6.
In the race for the open U.S. Senate seat in Maryland, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks (D) has been declared the winner with roughly 52% of the tabulated votes. Former Governor Larry Hogan (R) has received 45% percent of the vote.
In Maryland’s third congressional district, all precincts are reporting and State Senator Sarah Elfreth (D) has been elected to Congress with a 17-point victory over Robert Steinberger (R).
Dana Schallheim will continue to serve District 5 of the Anne Arundel County Board of Education, having received just shy of 60% of votes in her race against LaToya Nkongolo.
Four candidates were on the ballot to fill two seats on Anne Arundel County’s Circuit Court. Two sitting judges, Christine Celeste and Ginina Jackson-Stevenson, ran together under the banner of “Keep Our Judges 2024,” but while Christine Celeste received the most votes at nearly 32%, newcomer Thomas Casey earned just shy of 26% of votes, enough to fill the second court seat.
With almost all state precincts reporting, Question 1 – a state constitutional amendment titled “Declaration of Rights – Right to Reproductive Freedom” – passed with 74% of voters supporting the amendment and 26% opposing it.
As of early this morning, former President Donald Trump (R) has been declared the projected winner of the presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris (D).

As of this morning, Trump had also received over 71 million votes, representing 51% of the popular vote, while more than 66 million votes have been counted for Harris, gaining her 47.5% of the popular vote at this time. In Maryland, just over 60% of voters supported Harris over Trump.
