Having just filled out an absentee ballot, I'd like to mention that having access to the internet is invaluable for deciding who to vote for for things like the school board. I never really cared about those sort of things before.

Another of Beierle’s 2014 videos was titled “The Rebirth of my Misogynism,” and featured him listing the names of women — from eighth grade until his time in the Army — who he said caused his “rebirth.” (Tallahassee police confirmed he had prior military service, but a Pentagon spokesperson couldn’t immediately identify the specifics of his service).

Guess what guys

quote:

In a punk song he made called “Don’t Shame,” Beierle sang of walking into a girl’s locker room and going on “rear end-grabbing rampage of underage girls.” (The Tallahassee Democrat newspaper reported he had been arrested in 2012 and 2016 for grabbing women’s buttocks without their consent. Prosecutors eventually dropped charges in both cases.)

Howard and AAC kicked out incumbent Republican executives, state voted to allow the Assembly to come up with a system for same day registration at the polls, direct casino money to schools, re-elected the AG who literally sued the Trump administration, other stuff.

We're still stuck with Andy Harris and Hogan was reelected but that was somewhat of a foregone conclusion.

At least Hogan's not terrible (bummed that Jealous didn't win because I wanted him to appoint Dave Chappelle to a position). He's basically a centrist Democrat when compared to today's average GOP elected official. gently caress Harris forever.

I don't mind Hogan assuming he doesn't suddenly veer right since he doesn't have to worry about reelection (I'm seeing speculation elsewhere about him running for Cardin's seat someday). I voted for Jealous but him winning was a pipe dream. Buuuuut so was Trump so I figured what the hell.

Hogan always struck me as an oldschool red governor in a blue state that is basically an endangered species. But I don't really pay much attention to MD politics so I could be talking out of my rear end on that, but that's the impression I've gotten.

He a Republican who should probably be an Independent, he knows where his bread is buttered in this state and doesn't rock the boat.

A victory by Kim in this suburban New Jersey district would be a significant win for Democrats, toppling the incumbent MacArthur, the only New Jersey congressman to vote yes on the tax bill, and a key architect of the ultimately failed Republican attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Talking about the Maryland congressional map gerrymandering, I dug into it a little bit more and



The offending part is that bottom orange area towards DC which was added to district 6 in 2011, which if iirc what I just read removed 66k gop voters and added 22k dem voters to the district. This is also why dems have held that district since it was redrawn (including yesterday). If you believe in actual democracy I can assure you just from knowing the state that a democrat is absolutely not the majority of that western orange blobs first choice to represent them (unless I'm really pleasantly surprised some day).
