The line was a mile long
Wow, this is big news. I live in Maryland and I’m usually in and out very quickly (although I live in a rural area). I voted by absentee ballot this year, so I can’t report on how it was at my usual polling place. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Maryland went RED!!!!!
I never know what to make of these reports of heavy voting in Blue states like MD. You would think all those Obamabots would be less inclined to vote this election.
The wait during early voting was similar. Ive never seen that before. Now we just pray for an orderly day throught our great country.
Gay marriage and expanding gambling on the ballot today. Gay marriage brings out the people.
Lots of local issues this time, homosexual marriage (again) and more gambling
the democrats convinced me during Ehrlich’s tenure that gambling was REALLY really bad for MD, so for Mike Busch and the rest of the democrat hypocrites- NO on 7
“Wouldnt it be amazing if Maryland went RED!!!!!”
YES, it would! Let’s believe for it and be confident! :)
As an ex-Marylander, that would be music to my ears! There needs to be strong turnout in most of the state to override the liberals in Baltimore City, Prince George’s County & Montgomery County.
Heavy voting in a solid blue state? May not be a good sign for the GOP.
Hi’ya there! Sending you a MD election ping. Hope all is well. Miss you guys.
Maryland has a lot of ballot iniatives that are driving turnout. Especially on gambling. This des not surprise me.
Here in Severn, we waited in line an hour, and as we were leaving, the line was even longer. They always clap for first time voters, and one of the first-timers was a man in camouflage in his 50s. Probably not an Obama voter!
We are in Montgomery County. My son went in to vote in the pre-work hours. He reported a short wait. I am about to go up there now and just drove past the polling place, a local school. No crowds, not very many cars in the parking lot.
A lot of people here do care strongly about and will turn out for the DREAM Act and gay marriage.
MD’s not turning red. This is the worst news I’ve heard all day.
There are a few big issues on state questions this year. With all the advertising for/against Q7, I’m not surprised a lot of folks are turning out.

It brings out the conservatives to vote against it.
This is good news.
Back in 2008, the lines in MoCo were hours long, all day.
I think they’re voting for marriage.
Why the long face?
