Sadly, this will be the outcome. Same as when Elrich won in the primary by about 100 votes. The reasonable voters' votes were spread across 2-3 candidates, so Elrich just courted one or two smaller groups (unions, socialists) and sealed the win.

[b]This is why we need open primaries. [/b]We'd then end up with one fringe D and one normal D on the general election ballot, so the normal D might win.

25% of registered voters in MoCo do not have a party affiliation, so they get little say in the primaries (only BOE)[/quote]

100% correct, but the Democrats will never allow it. They run this county and the entire state of Maryland like the mob. They want absolutely certainty that they can green light anything they want, whenever they want, without so much as a whisper of a debate or accountability. This coming from the party that claims that it wants to defend democracy. How many tons of irony is that?

I switched my registration a few years ago after being an independent for my entire life just so I could vote in the primary. It didn't matter. The screaming Abbie Hoffman replicants still won. I switched back to non affiliated and am currently reconsidering about where I will spend the rest of my days as MoCo and MD continue to regress under negligent governorship. [/quote]
