Good luck and thanks for voting. I don’t agree with your vote but glad that in Maryland citizens are able to. Have a great day!

Thank you for your honest vote. Cruz should be very proud of having a supporter like you. (I am not a Cruz fan by any stretch). Blessings to you and your wife.

I am voting in Maryland today for Cruz. I agree with you on most points. I could vote Trump in the general but never in a primary. Trump is a populist and is very clearly not a conservative. I will never understand all of these Freepers who are supporting Trump over a true conservative. Free Republic has always been about supporting conservative causes and I just don’t see it with Trump.

I live in southern Maryland.
I’m a registered democrat so I can vote against the worst of the rats in the primaries.
I’ll be voting for Bernie today.

Choosing the candidate who is most in line with the party platform.

Balderdash. The GOPe writes the party platform. They are wrong on immigration and wrong on trade. FYI: The platform for 2016 has yet to be written. The GOP platform survey contains no mention of immigration.

In case anyone is interested, I'm still voting for Ted Cruz. I'm sorry, I can't wrap my head around voting for Trump (yet). In the general, should be secure the nomination (which is of course likely), yes of course. I'm not nor will ever be #NeverTrump. I'm #NeverNeverTrump I guess you could say. I will vote for him in November. But not now, sorry.

It's a free country.

Thanks for your report, and looking forward to the update!

Voted for Mr. Trump in Harford County at my local firehall this morning. Felt so proud and excited to finally support the next POTUS. Saw only Trump signs and republicans were beating democrats in turnout at my precinct. Vote Trump and MAGA!!!!

I have been a Cruz supporter and voted for him in Idaho.

But the facts on the ground are what they are and at this stage we desperately need the GOP to come together...and we are going to need to come together behind Trump.

I wrote the following to senator Cruz after the NY Primary on that score:

We simply must win in November.

God bless you for your honest vote and fpr your message. Many of us (hopefully most) will do the same when it comes time to get behind the nominee.

We share the same (correct) attitude. I just returned form voting in Aberdeen. No line at all.

Voted for Cruz, Wallace for Senate and McDonough for US House.

I expect the outcome to be Trump, Szeliga and McDonough.

I fear for the state if outright race communist Donna Edwards is nominated for Senate although I suspect that the Republican nominee would prefer her over Van Hollen. (he seems to be remotely competent)
I wonder how the Mayor Demonrat Primary will go? Elizabeth Embry sounds like she would be highly competent, but is polling a distant third after the criminal Sheila Dixon and Pugh.

I moved to Maryland the day Dixon was convicted of stealing gift cards from poor children.

Fair enough, sir. Vote your conscience, although I can't believe you're willing to overlook Cruz's overtly unprincipled and Machiavellian actions.

But just make sure you stick around for the general and help Donald Trump defeat Hillary, which, of course, can't happen if Trump is denied the nomination by the GOPe at a contested convention, which would splinter the party, destroy voter enthusiasm, cause countless Trump voters to stay home, and see Hillary elected in a November landslide..

Vote Trump

Being from CO I’m confused.

What is this ‘vote’ you speak of?

Sounds like you have to go somewhere to do that.

Seems inconvenient.

Aren’t all your delegates automatically going to Cruz?

Actually, the Democrat down ballot races in MD are really interesting. Van Holland v. Edwards for the Senate...seems that black candidates don’t matter to the Black Caucus..and of course, will Baltimore elect an admitted crook back to the mayor’s office.

In the primaries, vote for your choice, and thank you for your vote for Trump in November.

A vote cast for Cruz or Kascish is a vote for Hillary Clinton

Thank you all for your replies.

For an after vote report: no lines. Not surprising given the total apathy in the city. Then people complain about this and that and wonder why nothing gets done. Whatever. I suspect the turnout will be greater for the general of course that will be the result of all the hype more than actual desire to be involved.

So something interesting: when I checked in, so to speak, I was given a paper ballot to fill out. No more touch screen voting it seems. Which is good given the controversy last time. But it was scanned in and I didn’t get any printed receipt confirming my choices. Whatever on that too, if someone or some group is so duplicitous as to rig elections well, what can you do.

An interesting side note: I was originally given a Democrat ballot to fill out, but no controversy when I pointed out this error. I guess it was habit more than anything. There was a whole stack of republican ballots but few democrat ones left. Of course. It’s Baltimore City.

Anyway, filled it out with the following choices:

Cruz
Sean Connor for Senate
Corrogan Vaughn for Rep (Dist 7)
And then some additional delegates to vote for but unlike PA, the MD GOP actually tells you who they support. So it was easy to vote for the Cruz delegates.

So all in all, a good experience. I took my wife along but she can’t vote yet as she’s not a citizen yet. She’s in the process of becoming one though hopefully she will become one before Nov (well actually October, which is when the cutoff is for registering to vote here I believe).

Time to turn on Fox and watch the Trump machine roll in the votes. I have no delusions. But I’m glad I could vote my conscience and actually for someone still in the race. MD is so late our votes here really don’t matter.

Early congrats to all you Trump supporters. I think he may gain enough tonight to make the CA race his finish line. So, all of this stuff about a contested convention really isn’t going to matter. If (when) he gets to 1237 before the convention, he’s my guy then. So relax and enjoy all you Trumpers. He’s really probably got this in the bag already.

God bless FR and God Bless the USA!
