kmusserA reminder that we have a primary election coming up on June 24th. In Maryland you must be registered with a party to vote in that party's primary. The deadline for registering and/or changing your party affiliation is June 3rd.
I know it's primary election in a non-presidential election year, no one votes in those. I strongly suggest that you do so. Especially in a state that's as politically lopsided as Maryland it is usually the primary election that determines the ultimate winner, and local elections have a much more direct impact on your day to day life than the presidential ones do. Even if you don't like either of the parties (and really, I can't blame you for that) it can be worth registering just so that you can vote in the primary, you can always vote for whoever you like in the general election regardless of how you registered.
Particularly in Frederick county we have the brand new positions of county executive and county council members being decided. Do your research before you reach the voting booth.
as a P.S. the county is still looking for election judges. If you can afford to burn the day it's a neat thing to do.
