                                                          Maryland


                                     State Board of Elections,

                                     Annapolis, MD, June 18, 2008.
     Hon. Lorraine C. Miller
     Clerk, House of Representatives,
     The Capitol, Washington, DC.
       Dear Ms. Miller: This letter is to advise you that the 
     unofficial results of the Special Election held on Tuesday, 
     June 17, 2008, for Representative in Congress from the Fourth 
     Congressional District of Maryland show that Donna Edwards 
     received 15,381 votes or 80 percent of the total number of 
     votes cast for that office on election day excluding absentee 
     and provisional ballots.
       It would appear from these unofficial results that Donna 
     Edwards will be certified as the Representative in Congress 
     from Fourth Congressional District of Maryland.
       As of the date of this letter, there is no contest to this 
     election.
       As soon as the official results are certified, an official 
     Certificate of Election will be prepared for transmittal as 
     required by law.
           Sincerely,
                                                  Linda H. Lamone,
     Administrator.
