Election Calendar – October 30 thru November 7

Note: updated information below.

The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He says you must vote for what you want to hear
Don’t matter what’s wrong as long as you’re alright
So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind

Iron Maiden, “Be Quick Or Be Dead” (1992)

I thought that was a good way to start the final scheduled edition of the Election Calendar. Quite honestly there’s not much to add to what I had last week. It’s doubtful that there’s going to be any statewide candidates making an appearance here at this late date – after all, between the four counties that I consider the Lower Shore (Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico, Worcester) there are 113,151 registered voters. That sounds impressive until you realize that Maryland boasts a total of 3,105,236. So our 3.6% which is pretty much figured as solidly Republican (based on past results) won’t attract a lot of attention from the statewide folks.

But I’ll carry on, and as always if I see something that comes up I’ll post on it as quickly as possible.

Monday, October 30: County Executive challenger Charles Jannace will be among those at the NWA/BEACON Candidate Forum on Growth and Development. It’s in the Guerrieri University Center at SU (Nanticoke Room) and goes from 7-9 p.m. (If I recall correctly this room is actually in the part of the building called The Commons, but you can get there from the south entrance of Guerrieri Center.) As far as I know, this is the final candidate forum.

On that same night, the NAACP in Worcester County has a Candidate Forum beginning at 6 p.m. at the Snow Hill Fire Hall.

Tuesday, October 31: This is the last day to turn in an absentee ballot application.

Wednesday, November 1: One final go-round at Break Time (1009 S. Salisbury Blvd.) for Charles Jannace.

Thursday, November 2: No events scheduled.

Friday, November 3: Once again, I’ve volunteered to work at the local GOP headquarters that afternoon. So stop by and say hello.

Saturday, November 4: There will be an Eastern Shore Ehrlich Rally that begins in two places but ends up in Ocean City. One leg will start at Graff Plaza in Ocean Pines at 9:30 a.m. while the other leg from Wicomico County meets at GOP headquarters (1600 N. Salisbury Blvd.) at 11 a.m. They both end up at the Carousel Hotel in Ocean City (118th Street and Coastal Highway) about noon where food and drink will be made available for $8 per person. (Ellen Andrews, if you’re reading this, let me know how close I am on the details!)

Sunday, November 5: No events scheduled.

Monday, November 6: Congressman Wayne Gilchrest is hosting an Election Eve Victory Rally from 6:30 to 8:00 at the Ramada Inn and Conference Center, 300 S. Salisbury Boulevard in Salisbury (that’s Business Route 13 for those out-of-towners reading this.) As it says on my flyer, All Republican Candidates, Friends, and Supporters Invited! (It’s a free event too, so I’ll stop in before the Central Committee meeting that night – luckily they’re close together.)

Tuesday, November 7: Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. (assuming no court orders). For most of the day I’ll be at my new polling place, which is the Delmarva Evangelical Church.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get my normal update for Bill Reddish’s show so I don’t know who’s on tap for the last seven broadcast days before the election (counting Election Day). I imagine that will be rectified at some point this week and I’ll update then.

And here it is, I heard the interview this morning with David MacLeod.

Tuesday, October 31: House of Delegates District 37B incumbent Jeannie Haddaway.
Wednesday, November 1: U.S. Senate candidate Ben Cardin. This is a reschedule from a couple weeks ago.
Thursday, November 2: Governor Bob Ehrlich.

  1. Michael,
    Someone told me that you asked for me to certify your details of the rally for this Sat. Everything that you said is correct. Hope to see you there.
    Ellen
