Won't know party level turnout for a month until the SBOE releases their post election reports but all indications are that GOP walloped Democrats in turnout

A whopping 10,600 of the blank votes were in Montgomery County.  Seems strange to me to have such a high undervote.  Maybe it was a counting error.

Wednesday/Thursday AP and other news outlets were incorrectly reporting Hogan at 193K votes in Anne Arundel County instead of the correct tally of 113K (at the time).  This is why it mistakenly looked like a 9 pt win instead of 4 pts.
