THIS is why I find the NRA's rating system enigmatic at best; egregious at worst!

Not true about Bromwell! Here's the initial tally of 1302:

Somewhere, probably in the 1302 thread, are two pictures of the board from the floor vote that night. They were taken roughly two minutes apart. The first has Bromwell voting FOR 1302, the second has him voting against it.
This is commonly where critters are allowed to change their vote if they voted mistakenly, or can find the opportunity for political cover by changing a vote that allows them to claim one thing while having hoped and supported another.
Again, Bromwell is far and away the best Democrat on 2A running for Delegate in District 8. Were I a Democrat, I would absolutely vote for him, and have in the past. He won't get my vote in the general for a few reasons.
EDIT: Please see the following two posts. One vote taken at 9:52, the other at 9:54. Bromwell's vote is among those changed.

Sure, and easily defeated in my district. When it comes to spending, the votes here are split now between bleeding heart elites that we should all give government more, then those voters that pay no taxes and happy to vote to take any new entitlement. On local community groups here they are now propagating how to inform illegals where to get County paid attorneys (aka using our tax dollars) to fight deportation.
Dig a bit, all fervent antis. Dumais is a lock, is about all I'll speculate of the rest.
I wish there was better information as many of the pro-gun sites I've seen offer little information on candidates views. The NRA had WAAAYY too many question marks!
OK, now did also you notice Glen Glass also had his finger on the 'green' button?
Maryland Shall Issue wanted to do something like this in the past, but due to lack of resources (people) to collect the information and parse it, they have yet to do so. Perhaps those here complaining about the NRA ratings might like to volunteer a couple of hours a week during the Legislative session, to track and grade bills and those Delegates and Senators that vote on them. Maybe even come up with the rating system to be used by MSI?
NRA graded everyone a F for me. Not a single non-F rating
Dittos for me. What's the point in this fvcking state.
There still some worthy of receiving my vote.
I will gladly cast a ballot for Justin Ready. When he inadvertently sponsored a gun-grabbing bill, he removed his name from it at the next committee meeting (and publicly acknowledged his mistake to me and many of us), unlike Krebs who doubled down on the stupid several times, and then only changed her vote when saw the Frosh hit the fan.

Steve Waugh did something similar to his credit
Bailey sent a postcard alleging that Waugh sponsored legislation about the creation of a gun database. What Waugh's intention was to show that illegal guns were used almost exclusively in crimes v/s legally procured weapons since MD does not track this stat. The Baltimore sheriff finally admitted as much, and Waugh withdrew the bill. Also beware the NRA ratings for candidates. Hogan has joined the NRA in a push to remove Waugh because he voted against one of Hogan's veto's (our governor does not tolerate dissent in the ranks). The NRA gave Waugh a "C" rating since he did not toe the line in all issues. Of course the NRA does not explain the rating. I wonder if this had anything to do w/ the bump stock legislation that the NRA endorsed before being crucified by their membership.
Finally, Waugh voted against 1302, NOT for it as implied by Bailey's disingenuous postcard that I admit was effective enough to change my vote until investigated each of their snarky "what was he thinking?" allegations. I suppose I should be used to politicians lying to besmirch their opponents in this day and age. I urge you to contact his office for any questions regarding his position on issues as I did last night and received a call back this morning. Steve Waugh has my vote for state senator.

I'd be willing to do it!
If Krebs makes it past 'Round 1', I still advise a vote for her! You DO NOT want the lone Dem (who's a vile anti-gunner) to somehow 'sneak in'! Carroll County DOES NOT need another Ellen Willis-Miller!

I can personally vouch for Tim Robinson's stance on 2A. He has testified on our side in Annapolis several times and understands the Second isn't about defending ourselves from the ferocious deer.

Put mine on paper and mailed it in. I trust voting machines as much as I trust MD's (dot)Gov. My hope is that there are slightly better odds of my vote being properly attributed if it's on an actual ballot somewhere.
Reach out to MSI and let them know.

District 14 is cesspit.
With West, Robinson and Mangione advancing to the General, this race WILL be a critical key battle!! If you're in an adjacent district with little to no competition and want to get involved where it will make a difference, this would be the place to do it!
