Marylanders are getting their first opportunity to cast ballots in early voting in the hotly contested presidential election between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump today.
Turnout across the state has been high. About 95,000 people had voted across the state by 5 p.m. On the first day of early voting in 2012, 78,000 people cast ballots.
In Baltimore, lines at some early voting centers took more than an hour to navigate. In Carroll and Howard counties, more than 50 voters were lined up outside some early voting centers before polls opened at 8 a.m. At one polling place in Harford County, more than 200 people had voted by 9 a.m.
Linda H. Lamone, state election administrator, said she had not been made aware of any problems.
Baltimore election director Armstead B.C. Jones Sr. also said he had no problems to report, although most city voters had to wait in long lines....

What the hell do they have to lose?
Thanks!
I don’t consider Maryland going Trump a realist possibility. If it happens, i will thank God, of course. If the People’s Republic of Maryland supports a patriot, it will mean Trump is sweeping the country. If it happens, it will be in keeping with the signage I see, where there are more than 20 large Trump signs for every small Hillary sign. Still, I don’t even think about what if it happens.
Hillary has more supporters in Baltimore cemeteries than Trump has in all of rural Maryland. We all know the democrats who run Baltimore and the DC suburbs are not people we want in charge of counting ballots. I am optimistic for this election, but Maryland? I’m not that optimistic!
“I’m getting a little concerned about all these long lines and record breaking early voters turnouts across the country”
Wouldn’t be a day that ends in Y,if you were concern trolling. About something.
Like what on earth are you looking for? Low turnout so you can worry that trump supporters aren’t showing up? Normal turnout so you can worry about this election being the same as 2012?
The Trump people are not some poster on FR, making up reality, they KNOW who is voting and where, and is campaigning based on that.
If you are so worried, then leave your house and go volunteer.
I voted on the Eastern Shore of Maryland last night. No line at all, but Eastern Shore is rural.
More than laughter. Mirth and celebration in these quarters, total devastation in others.
I should go to Pennsylvania and buy some fireworks
I drove around Baltimore for a while the other day. Not one Clinton sign. But I did actually see a couple Trump signs in mixed neighborhoods.
Heard the woman candidate for U.S. Senate on WMAL this morning from the Silver Diner in Rockville. She sounds like a great candidate and if Trump wins Maryland, I bet she wins, too!
