		<description><![CDATA[Cecil County voters went to the polls Tuesday in strong and steady numbers to cast ballots for President and congressional candidates and, closer to home, the county’s first-ever County Executive and two County Council members. Anecdotal reports from throughout the county indicated a strong voter turnout, with lines at some polling places early in the morning. In Cecilton, poll watchers said there was steady activity until about 11 a.m., longer than the usual morning rush. But by early afternoon, turnout had slacked off and voters moved swiftly through the voting process with no lines. County Elections Board director Evelyn Potter said most polling places were problem-free, but the Calvert elementary site had persistent difficulties with slow-to-load electronic poll books and the site had lines for much of the day. By 3 p.m., the Election Day turnout was 20,498, or 32.7 percent of the county’s eligible voters, according to Potter. Of that tally, Republican turnout was 8,781 while 8,037 Democrats cast ballots on Tuesday, with 3,680 unafilliated voters showing up at the polls. Turnout was strongest in the Chesapeake City-South (Precinct 2-1) by 3 p.m., with 49 percent turnout, while Rising Sun banquet hall (Precinct 6-1) and Bainbridge (Precinct 7-1) posted [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  The unofficial returns for Cecil County in the Tuesday election show some interesting patterns in party-line voting from the top to bottom of the ballot, with the exception of the too-close-to-call 1st District race for Congress between Democrat Frank Kratovil and Republican Andy Harris.  Countywide, Republican presidential candidate John McCain carried Cecil with 56.41percent of the vote to Democratic President-to-be Barack Obama&#8217;s 41.28 percent. Independent Ralph Nader won 1 percent of Cecil&#8217;s vote.  McCain carried all but 4 of Cecil&#8217;s 19 election precincts.  Kratovil won 18,643 votes to Harris&#8217; 17,992, giving Kratovil 49.2 percent of Cecil County votes to Harris&#8217; 47.5 percent. Kratovil had a majority in all but 8 of the county&#8217;s 19 election precincts, with Harris&#8217; support concentrated in the western areas of the county. Kratovil also carried every county on the Maryland Eastern Shore, while Harris carried the Western Shore areas of Harford, Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties included in the district. The state election board reported Kratovil ahead by just 916 votes district-wide, so the contest won&#8217;t be decided until absentee and overseas ballots are counted.    Locally, the 5th District County Commissioner race put Republican Robert Hodge ahead by just 328 votes over Democrat Sharon Weygand, [&#8230;]]]></description>
