		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County voters went to the polls Tuesday in large numbers to select three members of the County Council, state Delegates and Senators, and local officials including Sheriff, as well as casting ballots on statewide offices. Reports of voter turnout showed strong and steady participation throughout the day. By 3 p.m., a total of 12,294 voters had turned out at the polls, according to the county Board of Elections. Republican participation outpaced that of Democrats, with 6,187 Republicans casting ballots while Democrats tallied 4,261. The remainder of ballots was cast by “unaffiliated” voters and members of “other” parties or groups. Countywide, voter registration for what is classified as “active, eligible voters” totals 61,991. Republicans hold a slim majority with 24,692 voters while Democrats list 22,917—a 1,775 voter difference. There are also 13,288 “unaffiliated” voters in the county, while 300 voters identify with the Libertarian Party; 129 are registered with the Green Party; and 665 are listed as “other.” During a week of early voting held at the county administration building in Elkton that ended last Thursday, 4,123 voters—or 6.65 percent of those eligible to vote&#8211; showed up to cast their ballots before the traditional election day. Of those early voters, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former state Republican Party chair Audrey Scott withdrew Friday night from the hotly contested race for appointment to the state Senate seat recently vacated by E.J. Pipkin, leaving a potential head-to-head fight between two current state Delegates for the post. Since Pipkin was a Republican, his successor to fill out the remaining year and a half of his term is picked by a vote of each of the local Republican Central Committees in the four counties covered by the district. In an email—first reported by the conservative blog Red Maryland&#8211; to current state party chair and Eastern Shore resident Diana Waterman, Scott wrote that she was withdrawing her candidacy. She said she had entered the race because “numerous Central Committee members contacted me to ask that I submit my name” and that she had offered detailed letters to the local party panels outlining her qualifications, “commitment to the party” and “my great desire to avoid conflict within our party.” But she said she decided to pull out of the contest so as to clear the way for the current Delegates in the district—Michael Smigiel of Cecil County and Steve Hershey of Queen Anne’s County—to fight it out without a third [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County Councilor Diana Broomell (R-4), often a lightening rod for controversy both on the old county Commissioners board and the new County Council, told Cecil Times that she plans to run for re-election to her council seat in 2014, contrary to rampant local speculation that she would run for a newly redrawn state legislative seat in western Cecil County. “I plan to run again for the Council,” Broomell told Cecil Times on Tuesday. She also said she would like to run again for Cecil County Executive, when current executive Tari Moore’s term is up in the 2016 election. Broomell came in second to Moore in a crowded Republican primary in the 2012 election. “I’ve been to Annapolis,” she said, noting her past employment as an aide to state Del. Michael Smigiel (R-36). “You can’t get anything done there,” she said of Annapolis. “My concerns are in Cecil County; I have a lot of things that I feel need to be done here,” she added. During this week’s Cecil County Fair, Broomell and several campaign supporters have been seen wearing tee-shirts advocating “Broomell for County Council.” [However, Broomell will face at least one serious challenge, in the Republican primary.
