Maryland Election Referendum: Tuition, Marriage, Gambling
November 4, 2012
See that line? That’s the first-day of early voting at Berlin in Worcester County, Maryland. You can expect long lines at Maryland polling places for the Presidential Election on Tuesday.

First, seems to me a bit old-fashioned […]
