While many of the names on the ballot will be familiar to primary voters, a few new candidates conducting write-in campaigns will appear on the ballot including Democrat Scottie Griffin who is hoping to unseat Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Michael Gendel, a Democrat, who will be challenging Republican Nathan Volke who represents District 3 on the County Council in a last minute surprise for the candidate who has been running solo in the primary and the general for months.

There are MAGA Republicans who just will not admit that Trump lost. They remind me of those southerners who refused to believe that the South had lost the Civil War and whose rallying cry was, “The South will rise again.”
Every election year more votes are cast for the offices at the top of the ballot than for those at the bottom, sometimes by tens of thousands of votes. These “drop off” voters often tell me they don’t know what the elected offices at the bottom of the ballot do or why they should care about voting for them.
