Maryland

about this state
Maryland is the only state where'd you WANT to have a "Crabby Day"... Oh, don't give us that look, you liked that joke. But you know what's not a joke? Elections! Case in point, that one time you had one where it came down to 17 (!!!) votes. Don't let elections be decided by margins that inspire cardiac arrests! Maryland will have two main elections in 2022. Its primary election will take place on June 28, and the general will be held on November 8. Here's all the info you need before you head to the polls this year! Oh and don't forget the Old Bay!
