You have the winner/loser reversed. I actually wanted to believe something like that happened, as if the Republican ran as a liberal and the Democrat ran as the conservative. But urban blacks and rural whites obviously aren't voting opposite in this day in age.

Nevermind.

I imagine this is such a massive blowout (even by MD standards) because of an uncontroversial incumbent?

It's funny, I actually didn't vote for him because he refused to endorse Jealous. I wrote in my wife's name.

He has done a good job, tbf

He's extremely well liked, he's made it no secret that he's a big Hogan fan and he declined to endorse Jealous. That and the Republican was a complete and total unknown.

The fact that the Republican's name was "Anjali Reed Phukan" probably didn't help matters either.

Lol at Cecil County still voting Republican though. I went to visit family there as a kid pretty often and it was like stepping into Alabama.

The last time I was there (about 3 years ago), I immediately saw a pickup truck with a license plate that had the flag of the Northern Virginia Army on it (what we commonly refer to today as "the confederate flag".

Still, it's impressive that Franchot got with 3% of carrying it.

Really? You should go to Hartford, lol. It is way worse.

[DINGO Joe]

I wonder what % of the voting public knows what a comptroller does?

Probably around the same percentage who could correctly pronounce "comptroller".

[Calthrina950]

Franchot in Maryland, Galvin in Massachusetts, and White in Illinois put in commanding performances this year. Those of Franchot and Galvin are particularly so, given that both cleared 70% of the vote at the same time that popular Republican Governors Hogan and Baker were re-elected.

Hmm.. last I checked there is no Hartford County Maryland thank you very much

I meant Harford, lol. And I guess I was being too broad, the southern section of the county is generally FF, albeit quite boring. It is the northern half where you start seeing the confederate flags.

I grew up in Harford and lived there til I was 25. It's a conservative area but they're not blanket racists. I see a confederate flag once in a while but its not like its rural Alabama. Cecil is definitely more conservative than Harford

Probably the next governor.

I strongly doubt it. He's pretty old and, seeing as the Governor's Mansion will almost assuredly swing back to the Ds after Hogan, there's probably a higher-profile candidate waiting in the wings.
