The legislation seeks to build upon an early voting plan in place in Maryland since 2010 that was vigorously fought for years by the state’s minority party, including O’Malley’s Republican predecessor, former governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.
In November, many voters in Maryland’s largest jurisdictions stood in line for hours to cast their ballots early, and three times as many Democrats as Republicans took advantage of the opportunity, according to State Board of Elections statistics.

Oh this is wonderful. Now people will be able to move about the state voting in multiple locations, like they did in the Presidential election.
11:16 am not only that but also to make sure the thoughtless voter becomes reactionary and not thoughtful over the candidates, the issues, etc. They want early voting to lock in early votes for their candidates, then when more information about them, their stands, or issues that come up before the actual election you can't change your vote because you jumped the gun by voting early. It's the only way the underhanded can win.
