Early Voting Sets New Record For Primary

In the first six days of early voting ahead of next week's Primary Election, the number of voters who have cast ballots has already exceeded the number of voters who cast ballots in both 2010 and 2012.

As of Tuesday night, the Maryland State Board of Elections reports 90,223 have cast ballots. That represents 7.46% of registered voters.

That total includes 19,064 people who voted on Tuesday.

In 2010 and 2012, early voting lasted six days ahead of election. In 2010, 77,218 people voted early. In 2012, 76,214 people voted early.

Let's hope the voting rate maintains its growth - especially for the Republicans!

Oh, Hell ya, I can vote everyday for a week and at multiple poles. I can even =vote for my dead daddy, and if the right poles judges are working I can vote for my dead mother...

You do that 9:52, have someone record it, and show us how that worked out for you.

11:46 since the state does not require identification to vote, and since the machines are not linked to a central data base, and since the law says early voting does not have to happen at your registered pole, and if his/her dead parents are still on the roster (which many are), yes he/she could do it..
