Ballot initiatives always get a Yes vote unless there was big press about them. They were so poorly worded that it just confused voters and they just voted yes anyway. |
I agree. Look at PG County and Baltimore City. Overwhelmingly voting for a terrible candidate because of the color of his skin instead of the far better qualified candidate. |
Yet another white person who doesn’t understand what racism is... |
Please explain then... |
| Who did moco vote for? If moco voted for hogan, then the Dems need to determine why. If reliably liberal voters are supporting a republican, that is very telling. |
This 100%. |
I’m a Democrat and I voted for Hogan because of Ben Jealous’s education plan. We already struggle to have enough money to deal with overcrowded schools and the needs of all our students. We don’t need more of our tax revenue going to subsidize other counties. |
Nope. It’s racism. |
That was what did it for me too. Only R I voted for yesterday. |
It was damn close in moco. So speak again why this overwhelmingly democratic county overperformed for hogan?? |
Hard to say what's going through peoples mind when they vote. Maybe they voted for the best candidate? |
Mcps strife with Hogan are a big deal for MoCo voters. But, I am pretty sure MoCo voted for Jealous, so not sure where the racist argument is coming from?! |

Yea I had trouble understanding these, and wasn’t sure where to go for clarity. |
The League of Women Voters in nonpartisan and they really research each iniative. They put out a large newspaper each year. Check your local library next time. |
