10 days to go!

As the election gets closer and closer, Maryland's "election officials brace for historic turn-out".  The Baltimore Examiner predicts that voter turnout in some precincts could reach 90% and 85% state-wide. In a state that is already seen as bleeding blue, this turnout expectation will only reinforce Obama's lead in Maryland. To combat any confusion on election day, Maryland officials have been working to make sure the voter knows what to do and where to go. They have launched a "Know Where I Vote" project and have focused on voter education.

As I predicted with 50 days to go, Maryland will definitely be a state that Obama can call early in the night on November 4th. The state has historically placed its electoral votes for the Democrat, has more registered Democrats than Republicans, and has a large black population that has yet to be swayed by a Republican candidate.
