Voting in Maryland

I just wanted to post a reminder to any readers in Maryland that today is election day in Maryland. Today, you get to vote in either the Maryland Democrat or Republican primary election depending on which of these parties you registered with. If you are unaffiliated, unless there is nonpartisan election such as a nominees for a board of education, you won't get to vote today (source: http://www.elections.state.md.us/voting/primary.html). You will get to vote in the national election. I would urge you vote. This is one of the times when you can have your say on where you think this country should go. If you don't vote, I feel you don't have any right to complain about where this country is headed because you didn't do anything to change it. You can say your vote won't make a difference. I say, you don't know that for a fact and even if the person you voted for loses, at least you made the effort to change things vice those who complain and do nothing about it. The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. today (source: http://www.elections.state.md.us/voting/election_day_questions.html#Time).

Blog Correction

I found out I made a mistake concerning the Maryland Primary elections. It turned out they won't be held until February 12, 2008. I don't remember where I got the erroneous information. My apologies if I caused you to go to your polling station only to find out they weren't open. The only good thing that came out of this mistake is I definitely know where I'll vote on February 12th.

Vote!

Tomorrow, Maryland will hold its Democratic and Republican primaries. Voting is our one chance to tell the politicians what we think of how they're doing. If you don't vote, you can't complain of what they do because you didn't try to change it. Also, as I understand it, if you are listed as a Democrat or Republican, you must vote tomorrow if you want to vote in the General election next year. That election will be even more important as it'll decide who will become President and what direction this country will take for the next 4 years. So, make sure you get out and vote.
