If governor-elect Larry Hogan has anyone to thank for his upset win over Lt. Gov.Anthony Brown, it may be Democratic voters who did not show up to vote Tuesday.

Turnout was down statewide and critically in counties that are key to statewide Democratic victories, according to unofficial election results.

With five precincts yet to report, turnout seems to be around 45 percent statewide, or 9 percent lower than turnout in the 2010 election.

This is a crock. Turn out was pretty decent. The only reason it was down 9% from 2010 is because of people who have died or moved out of state but are still on the voter roles.
Brown lost because he is a omally/obama clone and people are sick and tired of it. That's why he lost-nothing more nothing less and all the excuses like low turnout isn't going to change the truth.

They wouldn't dare admit many many DEMS crossed party lines.

I'm a Dem and voted straight R this time. And I'm switching my party tomorrow.

Being a registered Dem has become an embarrassment.

'nuff said.

He might have won by a larger margin. I crossed party lines. Sick of O'M and his ilk.
