SALISBURY, Md. - Early voting is underway in Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland is already outpacing the rest of the state in turnout. Voters have been heading to polling places like the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center to make their voices heard in the upcoming election.

Keith Newton, of Parsonsburg, noted the sense of urgency among voters in the region. “Everybody's trying to get out as early as possible to get their vote in and be a part of this and make a difference,” he said. “I really feel like everybody so strongly feels about the problems and issues that we’re having in the country.”

Despite the strong start, Maryland’s early in-person voting numbers are lower than at this point in the 2020 election. Statewide, 10.4 percent of eligible voters have cast ballots in the first four days of early voting. However, the Eastern Shore has outperformed this rate, with 12.4 percent of eligible voters turning out so far.

Nearly every county on the Eastern Shore has exceeded the state average, with Talbot County setting the pace at 16.7 percent – the highest turnout in Maryland. Only Dorchester County falls below the state average for early voting on the Shore.

Bruce Robson, of Salisbury, praised the high turnout, calling it a reflection of civic pride and engagement. “It shows voter engagement, and gosh knows the more of that the better, no matter the party you are and who you're voting for. I’m proud of the Eastern Shore for that.” …

Andy Harris is my Congressman. A small part of his district is in Cecil and Harford Counties.

I’d love to see Kim Klacik and Neal Parrot win too.

I’m glad to see Kim Klacik is running in my original home state again. I hadn’t heard anything about her since 4 years ago.

Eastern Shore and Western Maryland have largely been reliably Conservative areas.

They still have to fight the overwhelming populations along the Baltimore-Washington corridor.

Baltimore, prince Georges, Montgomery, Howard counties and Baltimore City will overwhelm any conservative vote in Maryland. And do it without cheating though they’ll probably cheat anyway just because it’s Democrats’ nature to lie steal and cheat.

Well, I’m in PG, and I’m what JFK is reported to have called himself - an idealist without illusions.

I’m just hoping we get Hogan instead of Alsobrooks. It seems the most to hope for as things stand.

I guess I hope they can drag Hogan’s fat, bald, RINO carcass across the finish line.

We need to get rid of the GOP backstabbers, first.

In the meantime, I’ll take Hogan over Alsobrooks.

(Have you ever lived under either of them?)

Maryland is one of the states that look like a Democratic rout this year. Their early voting numbers are off the charts:

Hogan is toast.

Why vote for Rat-Lite when you can vote for the real thing.

I’ll vote for someone who might vote with Republicans sometimes, instead of someone who won’t at all.

It was Republicans who sabotaged Trump’s first term, not Democrats, and now we’re finally getting rid of Romney, we don’t need a replacement.

Md. will go for Harris, but this is another good sign that “something” is happening out there.
