We havent seen a surge at this point. Well keep watching and have more for you coming up at 7 00. And were tendering to race for governor in maryland. Bruce leshan is keeping an eye on that race between democrat Anthony Brown and republican, larry hogan. Bruce is live in college park with more. Hi, bruce. Hey lesli. The democrats are keeping a very, very close watch on the polls right here in Prince Georges County. The democrats need a really strong turnout among young people and african americans. If Anthony Brown hopes to pull off a strong challenge from republican larry hogan. Are you guys ready to change maryland . Republican larry hogan after casting his ballot in edgewater in anne arundel county. We may pull off the biggest upset tonight. I think we did a good job. Democrat Anthony Brown figures a spectacular autumn day will help drive turnout among democrats. I havent focused a whole lot on mr. Hogan and what hes doing and what hes saying. Im not sure the voters are either. At Leisure World in silver spring, one of the busiest precincts in the state. There were lines down the hall and by late morning, 163 democrats had voted and fewer than half as many republicans. Im very excited. Its important that we get out and voice our vote. We need more democrats. I think its time for change and im hoping that brown is the one. Turnout was heavy and republican strongholds, like davidsonville in anne arundel county, where by early afternoon, 315 republicans had voted and just 185 democrats. I think we need change. I think we have too Many Democrats in the office. I like to see something done about the spending and the taxing. Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups. Stan boone is unhappy with the status quo. But even less happy with the g. O. P. Im sick to death of republicans trying to sell the idea that the way to improve this country is to cater to big business. I just spoke to browns campaign manager. He says if turnout here in prince georges goes below 48 , he will be sweating. He is predicting 51 turnout. Four years ago, it was 54 . And at last check, spoke to Prince Georges County elections officials. They say turnout right now is running about the same as in the last governors race. Lesli, back to you. All right, bruce, ill take it. Thank you so much. In virginia, republican Barbra Comstock and Democrat John foust locked in a heated battle to succeed. Frank wolf and thats where peggy fox is in auburn, to be exact. Hey peggy. Yeah, im here in sterling at the viewing party for Barbra Comstock. It has been an extremely tight race. Were not sure how its going to shake out because there has been no independent reputable polling done. However, that race as well as the Senate Warner race has been driving voters to the polls today. Here in loudoun county, however, the register says its not as high as they hoped. 30 of registered voters in fairfax. They are looking at more 40 to 50 percent of registered voters, which is what a Midterm Election looks like. New Voting Machines in Fairfax County were holding up well. Im hoping, of course, it will be a big turnout for Barbra Comstock. A steady stream of voters kept election workers busy at langley high schools double precinct polling station. I definitely feel that its antiobama. Because we have been very proud. Its part of the 10th congressional district, which will choose retiring frank wolfs replacement. Foust, mr. Comstock, who are you hoping for . The race between comstock and foust may be one of the closest congressional races in country. What are you telling voters . Just keep an eye out and vote for comstock. No independent reputable polling has been done on the race, but both sides say they are confident. Close election, very exciting. Exactly. Its very, very exciting this year. This is also the first election for virginias new voter id law. You need to have a photo id when you vote and the elections people told me so far it has not been a problem. Im peggy fox reporting live in sterling. Back to you. You know, its getting close, but it is still not too late to check out our voters guy for maryland, virginia, and d. C. The polls close at 7 00 in virginia and at 8 00 in maryland and d. C.

We have new information tonight in the investigation into a gruesome beltway crash over the weekend. It killed 17yearold, ganzaga High School Senior and it sent four others to the hospital. Debra alfarone takes us inside the on going investigation. Behind this garage door may lie the answer to the question why. Why did the driver of this 2013 jeep smash into the rear left side of this honda accord pulled over on the side of the beltway over the weekend out of gas . Why did it strike the honda with such force, but the passenger closest to the impact, 17yearold, crushed to death. We did serve it on the vehicle. As a result, the search warrant, we did obtain air bag module out of the car. And thats going to give us the speed at the time of the collision. And a speed just prior to the collision. Police say four other people in the honda were hurt, some seriously. The driver of the jeep also went to the hospital. Police say that driver, 24year old, margaret bastely showed signs of impairment at the scene. We also drew blood that night. On the other person involved in this collision. And then blood results were sent to mental state police lab. It could be weeks before the piece of the puzzle fit. Lieutenant says thats not uncommon. Charges or not, he knows this is an unbearable time for everyone involved in this tragedy. And anyone who knew the Bright High School hockey star with the shining smile. Its terrible for everybody involved. Everybody was in the car. All the family members and my heart goes out to the family. In rockville, debra alfarone, wusa9.

In tonights technology report, a brandnew app that can show you just how bad the flu is in your town. The app is called flu near you. But it relies on self reporting. Creators are hoping people who come down with the flu long gone report it. It tracks them based on blue dots for no symptoms, yellow for symptoms, but not a flulike illness or red for flu like illness. It takes only a few seconds to report your flu and they say no one will see your personal information. The only station with weather alert days, wusa9. That is limited activities. There wouldnt be any true way to measure cases with self reporting, right . What a computer programmers say, garbage in, garbage out. Just because you had the fever, didnt mean you had the flu.

Now, wusa9 game on sports with kristen berset. Brought to you by exfinty. 24 hours ago, redskins head coach, jay gruden uttered four words setting off speculation. The jury is still out. That was part of his response when asked to assess the quarterback situation through the first nine weeks of the season. In another interview, the redskins are not going to quote, selfappoint rg3, the franchise quarterback of the future. The head coach has really seen griffin play two full games. As for rg3, he said today he understands the criticism and knows he has to prove he is the guy. When it comes to the franchise guy that is what it is. I believe that i am, i believe this organization knows that i am and theres no doubt there. So, i dont ever step on to the field trying to make a claim saying, im the guy. Its not like that. This is my team and im going to lead it. The redskins held a closed practice this afternoon for profootball talk is reporting the skins worked out former raiders qb.

And minnesota runningback, Adrian Peterson aggrade to a plea deal that will keep him out of jail. Peterson pleaded no contest today and in return will pay 4,000 fine and serve 80 hours of community service. No timetable on when hell return to the playing field. The Washington Wizards have bounced back nicely from their loss. They racked up two straight victories and tonight they go another at Madison Square garden. The 21 wizards face the New York Knicks tonight. The wizards swept the knicks in three game last season, but this is a completely retooled team. The former player, derek fisher, now at the helm. They are not focused on new yorks personnel, but rather their own. You cant focus what they do, we cant be afraid. We have to watch out. We have to focus. We have to do the defense the right way. We have to rotate the right way. And well be fine. And finally, your daily reminder in high school the High School Game of the week poll.
