Virginia had some of the same winter weather, but you don't see them keeping the polls open longer! This might not pass the smell test.

I just voted for DUNCAN HUNTER! He was on the ballet and I could not vote for the McWonder Boy, so I went with my first choice and it felt GOOD!

There was ice everywhere and people in MD can’t drive for (bad word) so I believe it.

There was ice everywhere and people in MD cant drive for (bad word) so I believe it.I hadn't thought of that in my gut reaction. Ain't that the truth! I was on the Baltimore Beltway in the early afternoon while it was raining and people slowed down to a ridiculously low speed. I mean, it's one thing to slow down to a prudent speed, but these people acted like they didn't know how to drive in the rain!

Maryland officials are keeping the polls open 90 minutes longer, hoping the icy mass will work it’s way down to hell and three more people will vote hor the Hildabeast.

Maybe Huckabee has a chance in MD, then. Many would find a way through broken glass to vote for him — even in Maryland.

The 4:00 hour was brutal. 95 was shut down in a few locations, with me stuck on it. While the polls should not have been kept open IMO, the storm was bad for a time.

Should bode well for the Republicans who vote early!
Not for the procrastinating dimocrats.

Nope... legit... talked to my son... lots of ice... and a great portion of Maryland is very hilly especially around Baltimore and its suburbs.

The National Weather Service issued an ice storm warning Tuesday evening for the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area, saying it expected accumulation of as much as a quarter of an inch.Polling hours extended due to global warming.
Hmmm... now where did I put those carbon credits?

Swami Obama was seen walking across the Patapsco.
Even Bill Clinton materialized to make an appearance on WBAL.
Then came the sleet and hail...

Oh, further down in AA County there was an ice sheet covering everything. The MARC trains and parking lot were skating rinks. I didn’t get to my polling place until past 8:00. I had to vote with a provisional ballot, though, which angers me.
