Wynn received 82% of the vote in 2006, but it's a special election (no reason for Dems to turn out) and the Republican is a Ron Paul fanboy (reason for them to turn out).

I think the GOP may have a shot at breaking 25%. Thoughts?

I doubt it. I'll say 78-20-2.

I think the Edwards campaign and the Democratic machine will make sure plenty of votes get out, even if in limited numbers. There will be enough to drown out the votes of the rEVOLution.

I would be very surprised if the Libertarian broke 20%.

It doesn't really matter. Donna Edwards will be Maryland's next representative.

There's a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian and two Independents on the ballot. There's also a Green Party candidate on the November ballot here, but for reasons I don't quite understand they chose not to be on this ballot.

I had 81-18 as the final numbers, but no matter. Thankfully I was proven wrong.
