After making his tabulations, Moon tweeted that “#the Bethesda region is blowing #Silver Spring out of the water!” Sounds like he’s trying to turn this into a competition.

How many #MontgomeryCounty voters requested mail-in ballots? – If you're curious, I made a table of how many ballots were sent as of today (10/8/20). #MoCo Dems (@mcdcc) are crushing @GOPMontgomery, but the #Bethesda region is blowing #SilverSpring out of the water! #MDpolitics pic.twitter.com/V0TX0mfA6e
