Overall 16.7% of registered cast ballots during early voting. However, 19.5% of Democrats participated as compared to just 15.4% of Republicans. Just 10.6% of people not affiliated with either major party &#8211; independents and people with minor party affiliation &#8211; cast ballots.<\/p>\n<p>Talbot ended up where it began with the highest rate of early voters at fully 31.6% of all registered.

One begins to wonder if Republican public antipathy to early voting discourages their voters from participating even when it exists.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are outnumbered by unaffiliated voters in the Big Dem 3 of Montgomery, Prince George&#8217;s and Baltimore City. Other populous counties also congregate towards the top of the table. In Anne Arundel, Baltimore County, Howard and Charles, Democrats formed 51.4%, 65.0%, 60.3% and 70.4% of early voters.<\/p>\n<p>GOP voters outnumbered Democrats in just 9 of the state&#8217;s 24 jurisdictions. All are solid Republican bastions located in Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore and much more lightly populated than the heavily Democratic counties.<\/p>\n<p>I hope to have more statistics later today but need to go teach my class on American politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first table shows the percentage of all registered voters who turned out by party affiliation.
