		<description><![CDATA[Andy Harris, the incumbent Republican for Maryland’s First District US House seat, won a bitterly contested fight against Jesse Colvin, a Democrat and first-time political candidate, as the overwhelmingly Republican district held to its majority party roots amid signs of discontent and an erosion of Harris support in some key areas. The District, which covers all of the Eastern Shore, including Cecil County, and parts of three counties on the western side of the Chesapeake Bay, is the most heavily Republican in the state by voter registration but Colvin had pinned his hopes on independents and cross-over voters. But Harris carried the district with 60.5 percent of the vote, while Colvin received 37.6 percent. A Libertarian candidate, Jenica Martin, received 1.9 percent of the vote. In Cecil County, the county’s GOP majority held sway, with Harris winning 61 percent of the local vote to Colvin’s 36.7 percent. Martin received 2.3 percent. But another GOP majority county, Talbot, switched course in the election, giving a 50.7 percent majority to Colvin and 47.8 percent to Harris.

		<description><![CDATA[Early voting in the Presidential, state and local elections begins in Cecil County on Thursday 10/27/16, as Republicans continue to widen their voter registration edge over Democrats in the county. State Board of Elections statistics show a small uptick in the total number of registered voters in the county since the April primary election but there was a broader shift to Republican Party registrations, indicating some of the new GOP voters were likely former Democrats or independents. There was a total of 64,896 “active” eligible voters in the county as of 10/23/16, the state BOE reported, including 27,579 registered Republicans, 22,476 Democrats, and 13,717 “unaffiliated” or independent voters. In addition, 399 voters registered as members of the Libertarian Party, 148 registered as Green Party members and 577 voters listed themselves as “other” party members. Under a change in state election law applicable for the first time this year, voters will still be able to register to vote during the weeklong early voting period that begins on Thursday . Early voting will be conducted at the county administration building on Chesapeake Blvd. in Elkton, from 10/27 through 11/3, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
