Maryland's Republican Governor Larry Hogan cast a write-in vote for late former president Ronald Reagan last week, his office confirmed to CBS News on Friday.
Hogan, a frequent critic of President Trump, is not supporting Mr. Trump nor the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden. Hogan's decision to vote for Reagan was first reported by The Washington Post. According to the CBS News Battleground Tracker, which tracks races based on CBS News polling and analysis, there is overwhelming support for Biden in Maryland.
"I know it's simply symbolic," he told the Post. "It's not going to change the outcome in my state. But I thought it was important to just cast a vote that showed the kind of person I'd like to see in office."
It's not the first time Hogan chose not to vote for Mr. Trump. In 2016, Hogan endorsed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie during the primary season and then wrote in his father, former Representative Lawrence Hogan, in the general election.

Only an A$$wipe would do something as stupid as writing in a deceased man’s name. Logan fits the description.
That is soooooo s.t.u.p.i.d.
Why not vote for yourself? Or some other person who is actually alive?
Dumb, so dumb.
My opinion of Hogan is considerably damaged by this stunt.
Another Holier than thou stupid donkey aka RINO.
Logan, Hogan, who gives a damn? He is still an A$$whole!
“...I’ll go for Cato the younger.”
Sorry, Cato is not eligible, not born in the US. Stick to GW, he had that “early days” exemption!
Childish
Absolutely PERFECT!... You couldn't have stated it any CLEARER!
Thank you!
It's symbolic until you open your mouth and tell people with great fanfare how you wouldn't vote for Trump. At that point, it becomes a direct and intentional political act to undermine Trumps efforts to be elected.
You have become the enemy.
i will write Trump’s name in for Senator for Maryland instead of voting for hogan.
Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.Makes me wonder how long we have not had a serious alternative for.

The New Deal, Dean Acheson wrote approvingly in a book called A Democrat Looks At His Party, “conceived of the federal government as the whole people organized to do what had to be done.” A year later, Mr. (Arthur) Larson wrote A Republican Looks At His Party, and made much the same claim in his book for modern Republicans. The “underlying philosophy” of the New Republicanism, said Mr. Larson, is that “if a job has to be done to meet the needs of the people, and no one else can do it, then it is the proper function of the federal government.”Larson was one of Eisenhower’s secretaries of labor, and also served as chief speechwriter and as director of the United States Information Agency. Eisenhower gave his endorsement to Larson’s book as named above.
Here we have, by prominent spokesmen of both political parties, an unqualified repudiation of the principle of limited government. There is no reference by either of them to the Constitution, or any attempt to define the legitimate functions of government. The government can do whatever needs to be done; note, too, the implicit but necessary assumption that it is the government itself that determines what needs to be done. We must not, I think, underrate the importance of these statements. They reflect the view of a majority of the leaders of one of our parties, and of a strong minority among the leaders of the other, and they propound the first principle of totalitarianism: that the State is competent to do all things and is limited in what it actually does only by the will of those who control the State. …
