OK, what happened in Maryland???

Complacency is what happened. 

You keep believing that and it'll be worse yet in two years time for Democrats.

If the Democrats select Elizabeth Warren or Hillary Clinton, they'll get pummeled in 2016.  It won't matter who the GOP selects to run.  They could throw up the corpses that are Bob Dole & Juan McCain and win handily.

I'm sure you were this confident after 2010 as well. How did that turn out again?

I'm still shocked by this. I mean, 2002 was considered a perfect storm for Republicans, and they still only won by 4 points. This time, they won by 9 points, when the state is more diverse and more Democratic than it was 12 years ago. Truly insane.

Serious question: Is there any chance that the ballots have been counted wrongly?

Do the Marylanders use voting computers or vintage ballot paper?

I've heard that their was some counting issues in Anne Arundel County. Some votes were counted twice. Which is why the margin is down to 4.67% instead of the 9.5% as it appeared yesterday morning.

Whoa, that's crazy. I guess that makes the result a little less insane then, more 2002-esque.

No, Hogan won 52-47, that's 5 points.

Yeah, I posted that before the counting error was corrected.
