I suspect MD is much like MA. 8/10 of the state is solid Republican but the cities are all Democrat.
You win just enough of the cities and the state turns miraculously red to the plebes and the MSM.

/if you’re not a local, do *not* ask me for directions, when you’re lost..you won’t like where you end up
