Throngs of voters showed at Maryland polling places and for the most part seemed to endorse the status quo. They kept Republican Larry Hogan in office … the incumbent Democratic attorney general and comptroller … the incumbent members of Congress, except for the newcomer in Western Maryland … and enough Democrats in the state Senate that Hogan will still have to worry about having his vetoes overridden. But not all the results were predictable, and we discuss what voters said and why it matters with two keen observers: Mileah Kromer, who directs the Sarah T. Hughes Field Politics Center at Goucher College, and the Goucher poll; and Barry Rascovar, longtime observer of the state’s politics, who blogs about it at PoliticalMaryland.com
