Maryland "Freak State" PING!
He did not get rid of the rain tax. I believe the bill he signed simply allows counties to opt out of it.
A few years ago, my daughter moved out of the cesspool state of Maryland. A year later, she got a sample ballot in the mail. I called the state elections board and asked why she was not purged when she changed her driver license. I was told the state DMV does not pass along that information to the elections board.
I was further told that when voter registration was done on paper, DMV conveniently lost lots of registrations, I asked if they were all republican and she said she couldn’t comment. To her credit, the elections lady was very upset.
The idiot AG Frosh is far more interested in liberal politics and his hatred of Trump than for anything having to do with actual justice.
Craig Wolf is running as his republican opponent. A trained monkey is a better alternative than corrupt Frosh.
Jerks like that belong in the graybar hotel, sad that it seldom happens.
Maryland 2nd district. insane. I’ll bet even the congressman doesn’t know his whole district.
I spoke with Andy Harris (R-MD, District 1) once and thought he was my congressman. (I had just moved in to the state) He told me that his district wrapped right around my neighborhood.
The Maryland district map looks like a drunk monkey puked on a map and they drew circles around the chunks
The 2nd CD is pretty bad. The 3rd has the honor of being the most gerrymandered district in the entire United States of America.
There was an alternative map proposed by the Maryland republican Party and a black group called the Fannie Lou Hamer PAC. It would have preserved two Republican House seats in Maryland, as we had before this monstrosity, and had three majority-minority districts instead of two.
The Fannie Lou Hamer PAC also says the House of Delegates should be elected from single-,member districts instead of being dependent on the senate districts. I agree with them.
The legislative map isn’t much better. Literally, across the main road into our complex, people who share the same polling place are in a different legislative district. To the point that Ballotpedia, which can identify your districts from your extended zip code, has me in the wrong legislative district.
Interestingly, the alternative plan would have thrown Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD2) and Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD3) into the same district.
Thankfully, the state now has a republican governor and he’s likely to be re-elected relatively easily, so he can stand athwart the Democrats’ efforts to give the state another crazy gerrymander like the current plan.
I thought Donald Trump was going to stop voter fraud?
Instead, private, independently funded Conservative action groups have to do the heavy lifting, with no help from Trump, or from Trump’s Department of Justice, or from Trump’s Department of Homeland Security.
There is some good news....
Whenever Conservatives lose an important election, we can still claim voter fraud.
You mention single delegate districts. For some reason, I actually have two elected delegates.
Ruppersberger is a moron, based solely on the letter he sent me the other day. I called his office and said very clearly that I know the House has no advise and consent for SCOTUS, but asking Ruppersberger to pass my opinion along to the MD Senators to approve Kavanaugh.
The letter I received condescendingly told me that he had nothing to do with senate appointments. Duh, that’s not what I called about.
District 3 was almost won by Dan Bongino, even with Dulaney’s money and gerrymandering.
Hogan will win, but he will likely still have a veto proof demonrat majority.
Delaney is District 6. district 3 is little Sourbrains, as the late Tom Marr always called him.
You’re right. I should have looked before typing.
Do you remember what tom marr called Liz Warren? He had a great nickname for her but I can’t remember it.
BTW, Delaney isn’t running for re-election because he’s running for president.
Any hope for Aime Hoeber?
Wishful thinking.
(1) Almost all of Trump's first 17 nominations to the Appellate Court got massive Democrat opposition - Good!
(2) Only 7 of Trump's next 12 Appellate nominees got heavy Democrat opposition - that's a little unnerving.
(3) Only 10 of Trump's 53 District Court nominees got heavy Democrat opposition - that's very unnerving.
(4) Two of Trump's most Conservative District Court nominees got the “Kavanaugh Treatment.” Trump made no public defense of either man, and both of them withdrew - that's absolutely unnerving!
Referendum Petition
Congressional Districting Plan
Establishes the boundaries for the State’s eight United States Congressional Districts based on recent census figures, as required by the United States Constitution.
Who could be against having districts defined as written by the US Constitution? /s. The constitution only requires that districts be appropriately equal in population and contiguous. Contiguous can mean that one district goes along one street for miles to seek the (UN) balance desired.
Maybe the advances made in internet-driven communications will allow more people today to see a legislative map without having to do an internet search. The MSM carefully avoided having the general public see any images of the outrageous maps.
I’ll give you a little bit in #4. But, maybe he didn’t think it was worth the fight, saving his energy for the SCOTUS spots which we all know are the most important.
We all realize that, generally speaking, SCOTUS candidates come from the lower, federal courts. Those courts are still stacked with Radical Liberals. Perhaps the Dem’s didn’t think any of the lower court appointments were worth the fight since they still have a stranglehold on them.
That’ll be the day.
No Democrat is going to go on the record and vote for a bona fide Conservative.
When you see Trump judges winning confirmation by 98-0, or winning by a “Voice Vote,” it's time to worry.
