So as the title says I’m 18 years old and voting for the first time ever. I’m from Maryland but voting with an absentee ballot because I’m in college out of state. I have some questions about politics in our state.

I wouldn’t consider myself a Republican or Democrat. I dislike the establishments of both parties and think that they’ve both lost the plot on how to actually represent the people. That being said, is it bad if I write someone in for governor instead of voting for Moore or Cox? I think that neither is a particularly good candidate and I know the race is kind of already decided.

Also, for question 3, can someone please explain why this is even up for a vote? I feel like this amendment absolutely should not pass; I feel like it’s purely to give one party more power. I’m really just curious and I want to learn more so I can be more informed when I vote.

Was there ever an apology to the young reporter or even a response from Andy Harris after his embarrassing shenanigans?

I thought I had seen ads and discussion of a question about mandatory recess in elementary schools on this election's ballot. When I look at the sample ballots I do not see it. Any ideas of what's going on?

FWIW I'm in Howard County

He ran ads during football. Maybe it wasn't a compressor, but he used something to make him sound like less of a whiny twat. We've all heard you speak, you mega-douche—you do not sound like you do in the new commercials.

He sucks. Vote him out.

Hi guys,

I should be visiting my girlfriend’s family in Glen Burnie. Is there anything I need to know about Baltimore and Glen Burnie?

It will be my first time in the United States. I’m a bit of an anxious traveller.

Any hidden gems I should visit and where should I avoid?
