And MD is blue, so it does not matter if I bother to even vote.

As I have stated, with the Democratic Party lock on the 4 MD counties that matter in national elections, ( large populations), the electronic voting machines with no tracability or accountability, and the local Democratic control of the election boards, MD's electorial votes are so solidly Democratic that Abe Lincoln would lose here. A few percent "overcount" in thses four counties will overwhelm even a landslide in the remaining counties.
