Reminder to Marylanders that the closing date for registration and changes to party affilation is tomorrow April 5.
MD primaries are closed, to have an impact you must register as GOP or Dem only.
Radio PSA on WMAL had a brief item about the surge of questions that BOE has received from unaffiliated voters. I've never heard a public announcement of this sort before. What it means is yet to be determined, but along with Gov Hogan (R) election, it just may point to another record turnout.
Another point.
The Board of Elections is advertising for election judges, a paid position, so FReepers that can should look into this to fight both political machines.
for your MD ping lidt if you have one.
Just a reminder for the lefties that they have to register R to vote Trump.
if you’re not from Maryland, piss off troll.
I hit a nerve, did I.
This is not posted in the Maryland forum.
It affects ALL of us as it is a presidential election.
I see no state affiliation for you. If this is only for Marylanders you can use the Maryland group discussion here.
you didn’t hit a nerve idiot. The post is a notice to Maryland voters, providing critical information regardless of candidate preferences.
Above all, intended to let unaffiliated voters that without registered party affiliation, their candidate choice doesn’t get representation.
And in fact, keyword Maryland was included, but you already knew that, didn’t you.
You should let it lie.
I wasn’t going to post here again.
I made the point which is fair and of national importance that this means non Republican Trump supporters need to register as Republicans and this is meant to inform them as well as the lefty Operation Chaos types who are also moving over to vote Trump.
I imagine in the Beltway region and Fredricksburg there are a lot of them.
Lot of Trumpsters out W Virginia way near Harpers Ferry I’d imagine.
Best wishes to Marylanders.
My guess is it goes big for Hillary and Donald.
Funny...I notice this same thing happens in FB: an admin will tell people that the yard sale FB page is limited to one county or selected area, and next thing you see are posts from people that do NOT live in that county or selected area. Some people just have to push their toe through the line in the sand.
seem to have more of those here lately....
Isn’t this for a Primary election? In other words, this would not apply to the General Election coming in November.
As far as I know, Maryland is (like my state FL) a closed Primary state. This means one gets to vote for candidates in the Party they are registered in, ie Dem or Rep. Those registered in another party can not vote in the Primary.
However, in the General Election everyone who is a registered voter may vote.
