Please tell me who I should vote for
 

I know nothing about politics
I've never voted before
I love poker
I live in Maryland

Could someone give me a list of who I should vote for, also do I have to register to vote first, thanks

Once you register...

...vote for the individual or group of individuals that you feel best represents your ideals. But before you do that, read something about the group, know why you are making that choice, laugh off all political ads in the weeks or months leading up to the election.

Welcome to Democracy.

I'm embarrassed for the state of high school civics classes in MD.

Yes you have to register. If you didn't register when (if?) you got your driver's license, then 99.999% chance it's too late for this election. Once you are registered, as long as you keep voting (requirements vary by state) your registration stays active.

On a very fundamental level, that is not a good thing. I don't mean to be offensive, but if you don't know anything about politics, government, or current events, I'd rather you not vote.

If you come to an internet poker site inorder to get information on who you should vote for then please stay home. If you really want to become confused then I would advise you to visit the Politics forum.

Unfortunately, you're unable to register to vote in MD at this time until mid-November.

You cant register at the polls in MD with a drivers license or utility bill?

Although it may be too late for this election, get out and register. Start making phone calls and let the candidates know what is important to you.

Re: Please tell me who I should vote for
 

You should realize that your vote for a candidate is likely choosing between someone who will keep in power a party that is very anti-poker versus a party that doesn't care much about poker but if push came to shove is probably also anti-poker. In other words it may be sort of like a what's a better all-in heads up hand 23o or 95o if poker is all you care about.

For senate you should vote for Ben Cardin (D). This is a close and significant race.


Depending on what congressional district you are in you want to vote for:

1. Corwin
2. Ruppersberger
3. Sarbanes
4. Wynn
5. Hoyer
6. Duck
7. Cummings
8. Hollen Jr.

Who are all the Dens in each district. But all of these races are expected to be not-close with the Dems winning all but 1 and 6.

too late to register in Maryland. Which is pretty good since you got some poor advice in one post. Ben Cardin voted to ban online poker, to vote for him to "save poker" is a freaking joke.
