When I pulled up to the middle school, there was a table set up outside under a big shade tree with three ladies sitting behind it. Some American flag decorations on it and some pamphlets. As I made my way by it towards the school entrance I said:
"Hi ladies--what affiliation are you, sitting under this tree?" And they said: "Democrats."
And I said: "Have a nice day, ladies." They mumbled something. Since I saw the flags, I thought maybe they were Tea Party.
Then inside, when asked for party, I said "Tea Party." And all of them almost fell over. The old man taking my info didn't know what to say, so I said "Do you have Republican Party here in Montgomery County?"
"Yes." I said fine. Ha.
When they said they were dems, you should have looked puzzled and asked Why?
“Really? Why? You want free stuff?”
Isn’t voting in Maryland kinda like voting in North Korea?
Yes.
Except the candidates in North Korea are less troll and ogre looking than the ones in Maryland.
And the Norks have better haircuts.
Bongino I hope
That is Tacomoa Park where Freeper by same name lives.
I voted in Anne Arundel County, where there are a few more conservatives. I used to live in Montgomery County, where you may now be the only conservative to reside there. When AA County went to touchscreen, one of the poll workers asked me if I understood the machine. I said “I’m a Republican, so I’m not easily confused by new voting procedures.”
Depends on where you live in MD

Ha! Good for you! I used to live in AA Co.. I really liked the area while I was there.
Nice...wish I thought of that.
More choices in NK. Ha!
Voted in a non-democrat enclave. They asked my name, address, and party affiliation...maybe DOB too I’m not sure. I don’t remember that level of questioning before but I didn’t mind it.
That’s why I bothered to go...I want the Pubbies here to see a high Tea Party turnout.
Yep...they checked me the same way.
Good grief. You should vote anyway. There is no excuse, no matter what you are supporting or are against. You can at least vote “No” on the bond measures.
I used to live in AA, Calvert and Saint Mary’s counties. The latter two were solid red at one time. I shudder to think of how they vote now..
were the ladies more than 100 feet away from the polling place?
Md. Elec. Law § 16-206 generally establishes a 100-ft no-electioneering zone around polling places where election materials, pamphlets and other such party-specific doodads cannot be shown to others, displayed or handed out. (I think flags get a pass, tho)
explained: (other rules and regulations, 1. Electioneering)

I did. But there were no bond measures or anything like that.
