It took me 45 minutes to vote in Baltimore County, including standing in long line outside in the rain for much of that. Seemed to be a lot of ``deplorables'' voting.

From what the article says, it seems about 7.5% of early voters were from Baltimore City, even though they make up 10% of Maryland's population. Could be a good sign. I didn't even know Maryland had early voting before I googled it on Wednesday.

Let me guess - black turnout is down compared to 2012.

Given Trump’s strength in Western MD, we could see a surprise November 8.

All MSM polls are projecting a D +7 turnout.

They assume Hillary will match or overperform Obama.

One report of Casa de Maryland-types harassing a Trump voter in Montgomery County (just outside DC in Maryland).

Some sour Cruz supporter told me yesterday, “This is the most hated election in US history where both candidates are the most hated.”

Still sour grapes, ignoring the huge voter turnout, the obvious lopsided energy.

‘They assume Hillary will match or overperform Obama.’

It all depends on how well they can flip votes on computers. Are they computer votes or real votes in Md?

Uh huh.

Trump has been on the receiving of the most brutal, negative coverage for months and every one expects he will lose.

Why isn’t Hillary up 50 points?

There’s no way she will match Obama. You would not believe the lines that we had to stand in, to vote in 2008 here in the MD suburbs of DC. I’d never seen anything like it before, and there is no way Hillary will get a turnout like that.

If Hillary wins it will be only one way — through cheating. I will become a complete cynic regarding the vote if she ‘wins’. There is no logical reason to justify her national poll numbers — just my opinion.

Others have confirmed — a shortage of Hillary yard signs, tee-shirts, and bumper stickers.

In my own area Obama had all kinds of signs and stickers. I see more Obama support left over from the last election than Hillary support because I’ve yet to see ANY support for her.

Trump support is the most energetic I’ve ever seen.

Computer votes in my precinct. When I took a photo during the primary, a no-doubt-democrat poll worker came up to me and told me to put my phone away, no photos allowed. I downloaded the VoteStand app and we will see what happens this time...

How can high turnout be good for low-energy Hillary? Makes no sense whatsover.

look for maryland to go trump.

the democratic hold is slipping. where as bernie supporters make up the base here, clinton crimes are holding back dem supporters.

plus her harsh talk on russia will swing this gutless dems to the peacemaker trump.

hillary will be hard pressed to win 200 electoral votes.

Voted in Anne Arundel County yesterday. About a 45 minute line. Hard to tell which side had more representatives, but the average age was about 65.

All Leftists are intolerant and fascist; just evil haters.

They are the total opposite of Christians and why Christian cultures are the ONLY cultures in the history of mankind that had true tolerance of other groups and ideologies, although Christianity is superior and more rational (scientific) than any other faith on earth. Truth ONLY is promoted by true Christians.

All people have faiths-—but the Big Lie (Marxism) is that some faiths are superior to Christianity.. Christianity has proven the most JUST, MOST FREE, MOST CREATIVE cultures in the history of mankind. IT is because it is based on Natural Laws (God’s Laws). Jesus’s Ethics are perfect. There is NO OTHER ETHIC SYSTEM that belongs in America.

It is as SIMPLE as Cicero stated: That all “Just” Law HAS to promote “PUBLIC VIRTUE”-—otherwise you get evil and HATE in the population!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have allowed the evil Marxist “progressives” (regressives) to try to bring us back to irrational paganism where slavery, sodomy, pederasty and groupings (men vs. women) will create people who embed hate for each other......simple as that.

Montesquieu stated that any “Just” Law that promotes evil (theft, sodomy, promiscuity, polygamy, socialism (slavery), is EVIL and has to be declared “Null and Void” by ANY JUDGE and JURIES. That is because of the Nature of Man-—who is lazy and evil by nature (Rousseau was a liar).

That’s why i’m asking. Someone said he saw record lines for obama last time.

Does maryland have a lot of repubs and independents to explain a record breaking first day?

take a xanax. Was just a question.

We’re not just cheerleaders. We want to know what’s going on out there.

I’m not sure what it means today; let’s hope it’s deplorables coming out.

But we didn’t have early voting in 2008. It didn’t start until 2012, so they have only one previous presidential election to compare.
