Issues more than candidates drive voters to polls in Maryland as early in-person voting gets underway

BALTIMORE — Voters began to trickle into polling places across Maryland Thursday as the first of eight days of early voting got underway ahead of the Nov. 8 election.

The season’s voting, which includes statewide contests for governor, attorney general and comptroller, had already begun for the more than 607,000 voters who requested mail-in ballots this fall. Thursday offered the first chance for voters to make their selections in person and continues through Nov. 3.

Joey Quinn, 60, of Pasadena was among the first voters to cast a ballot at Severna Park Library. A veteran who now works as a defense contractor, Quinn said he took advantage of early voting because he’ll be out of town through Election Day.
