Md. Dems Out Vote Republicans 3 to 1 In Early Voting

Maryland Democrats, particularly Democratic women, clobbered Republicans in early voting turnout. It’s hard to say what impact this huge Democratic turnout might have for the final results, since no Democratic incumbents in Maryland are considered vulnerable.

Democrats made up two-thirds (66%) of the 430,000 early voters, outvoting Republicans 3.2 to 1, compared to their voter registration edge of 2 to 1, according to the State Board of Elections website. Democratic women made up 42% of early voters, while they make up a third (33%) of total registered voters. Republicans made up 20% of early voters, and independent (unaffiliated) voters made up just 11%.

In fact, the hottest contest for Congress in the 6th district, pitting 10-term Republican incumbent Roscoe Bartlett against Democrat John Delaney, had the lowest percentage of early voting turnout of any of the congressional districts, 10.6% of eligible voters, lower than the statewide average of 11.65%.

dems = socialism
this can't go on much longer. the freebies are a drag on our economy and all those that are trying to make an honest living in any way they can. i'm tired of "sharing" my meager earnings with those who don't want to work (not those who legitimatly can't work); those who chose not to work and expect us to pay for their life.
