Hogan, also with some reluctance. That said, and fully aware of the division that exists within MDS on this issue, I respect everyone's decision to vote their conscience and not yield on principle.
I literally held my nose as I voted for the Moderate Democrat, Larry Hogan.
I voted for the Libertarian. Between the Red Flag nonsense and his gutting of LEOBR, I just couldn't vote for Hogan. To those of you who did that unpleasant task and saved us from Jealous, thank you. I just couldn't.
Voted Wolf for AG.
And wrote in Snoopy for the Court of Appeals.

I said the same thing about Trump, but caved in the end. Lesser of two evils. As of now, I see no alternative for 2020.
Now that the voting is over, I did the same. Except for Snoopy, lol. If it was neck and neck, I might have supported Hogan, but it really was a one man race, so why not let some Democrats pull the lever for him instead (and I don't mean this as a pejorative toward conservative Democrats nor am I casting shade at Republican voters here that voted for him). Hogan lost my support.
I do think it could be closer than early October polls suggested though.

Quote of the day.
With 99.7% of precincts counted ...
Hogan, Larry
1,196,352
56.21%
Jealous, Ben
909,923
42.75%
Quinn, Shawn
12,055
0.57%
Schlakman, Ian
10,037
0.47%
Hogan said in his acceptance speech that 100s of thousands of Democrats voted for him.
If past numbers of Democrats (and those that lean Democrat) in Maryland compromising a 2 to 1 majority over Republican leaning voters remains true, and making the big assumption that turnout was comparable between these groups, then roughly 1.4 million Democrats voted in the Governor's race. Assuming that the wide majority of Jealous voters were Democrats, it suggests that 500k Democrats didn't vote for him and chose Hogan instead (who also got 700k Republican voters).

Right down to standing in the booth, I finally just voted for the less radical Democrat.
I hold absolutely no hope of him supporting or even slowing the dismantling of the 2A in this state. In this regard you're kidding yourself by thinking BJ would have been THAT much worse. All we've managed to do is delay it a cycle until Frosh is in the mansion. Sorry, but with MD getting unbelievably even bluer than it was, Hogan won't do d!ck to stop the bleeding.
Hey, but at least maybe another toll will go down, right?
I was really hoping for a Wolf miracle.

So everyone I voted for except Hogan lost and that's progress...don't think so.

Everyone I vote for loosing is the norm , and exceptions are few ( not counting pres candidates that lost the Md electoral vote, but prevailed nationally ) . I'll have to think if there has been one since Jim Alussi retired .
Quinn, less than 1%. What a 3rd party option.
That’s probably the total amount of true 2a supporters there are in md
Since I gave my word and myself and my people all voted for hogan and he won by such a margin I feel like a traitor , and when lawn chair Larry rapes us for the next four sessions I will only myself to blame
Goodbye second amendment in Maryland

I did hold my nose as I voted for Hogan.
The very painful reality is. Maryland voters do not care about their rights. The 2nd amendment and the rest are not on the mind of sheeple. It's hard to accept, but that's what it is.
Less than 1% of Maryland voters do.
