baltimorebrew.comFrom th Sun:
Incomplete turnout figures show about 17% of the state’s 3.7 million eligible voters participated in the primary in person. The addition of mail-in ballots already cast will bring total turnout to roughly 23%, a figure comparable to the 25% turnout Maryland saw in the last gubernatorial primary in 2018. Turnout in 2014 was around 22%... “We are not looking at an abysmally low turnout,” said Nikki Charlson, deputy director of the Maryland State Board of Elections. “It’s a question of whether we’re a little higher than normal or at normal.”
Lots of anecdotal takes from the Banner Brew:
“We need to clean house,” Tom Rossbach said, inveighing against Mosby for her policy of not prosecuting certain low-level crimes and offering a motto he wishes the city would adopt: “Let’s make crime illegal again.” Rossbach said he switched to the GOP to vote for Donald Trump (“It turned out he did good things!”)
Hey Tom Rossbach, go fuck yourself. You got a real bad crime problem out on Hull st in Locust Point? go kick rocks
White Baltimoreans are not the only voters who have made the switch to the GOP out of disappointment with the party they grew up on.
No comment on how people in the Republican party voted for a complete nut-job Qannon guy, who's brother is distributing child porn? No questions there?

That's a lot of dog whistles from there "former Democrats" being interviewed.
Why do conservatives always insist on the talking point of "I have no choice but to have these shitty beliefs because progressivism exists"
Also, in what fucking world are Republicans for law and order?
Did he though?
"Law and order" for conservatives has always meant using the law to enforce a social order.
lmao, right? Law and order my ass. If they were for law and order, a whole mess of republicans would be in prison right now including their orange god.
