Midterm Election Night on Delmarva

RUSH (Host Intro): It was a blue wave when voters went to the polls and here in Maryland, incumbent Governor Wes Moore once again defeated Republican Dan Cox. This is Don Rush. The voters also placed the sole Republican Congressional District represented by Andy Harris in jeopardy. They approved a ballot measure that would allow Democrats to redistrict a seat, potentially ending GOP representation in the Maryland Congressional delegation. Meanwhile, last night, Harris did appear to hold his own district in this midterm election. And finally, Democrat Josh Hastings flipped the 38B district in the Maryland House of Delegates, vesting incumbent Republican, Barry Beauchamp. Here in Wicomico County, voters lined up at the polls, and Delmarva Public Media's Addison Goostree has the story.

Youth voters show up in Dorchester

CAMBRIDGE — For the first time in 32 years, George Ames went to the polls Tuesday with no stake in the outcome. The retiring chief judge of the Dorchester County Orphans’ Court had already mailed in his ballot, and his name was not on it. He came anyway, but this time, to watch. “I was really excited to see the young people voting today,” Ames said. “I think they’re finally understanding.” The scene, he said, took him back. “It reminded me of the first time President Obama ran for president.” At Cambridge-South Dorchester High School and Choptank Elementary School, voters and volunteers described a steady, uneventful Election Day marked by a noticeable showing of younger voters, worries about the cost of living and a recurring theme: the races closest to home matter most. Ames, who said he had been at the polls since about 9 a.m., described turnout as steady throughout the day. He chose not to seek another term and backed his successor, Jerome Harris. “When it’s all said and done, you can have a lot of change,” Ames said. “I’m very hopeful.” Alfred and Joan Morris, a recently retired couple from Montgomery County, spent the day outside Choptank
