Voting in Maryland for the first time: The July 19 primaries

Trump's candidate for governor, Dan Cox, won. Needless to say, I had nothing to do with that. (The candidate I opted for, Jerome Segal, a 1960s anti-war person, didn’t seem to have done that well.) But it is worrisome because the Democrats win all the elections in Maryland except that of governor. The Republicans in MD, like in MA, often win the gubernatorial elections with the checks and balances argument. The current governor is a Republican but not a right-winger like Cox, who will face the Democratic nominee, Wes Moore, endorsed by Oprah Winfrey. The checks and balances argument (hopefully) may not hold up in November.
