April Delaney – frederick local yokel

Keep repeating, “Everything is fine! Everything is fine!”

Usually we are quicker to the chase when it comes to talking about election results. However, we know that our faithful readers will give us some grace on this one.

There is a lot to celebrate in our fine state and county. After all, we overwhelmingly voted for Harris, Alsobrooks, and Delaney. So, at least in our little enclave of a state and county, we know that it’s not okay with a majority of us that a lying felonious charlatan fascist has control of the presidency. We also have a great mayor who has promised to stand up and protect our immigrant and LGBTQ+ neighbors against the tomfoolery that is sure to come our way:

That’s something to be proud of, right?!

HOWEVER, we also need to talk about the Board of Education race. We tried to warn y’all about the danger of voting outside the Apple ballot and we are not above this:

Over and over again we tried to sound the alarm!

Exhibit A:

It’s time to get real about the BOE election!

Alas! Too many people did not listen and here’s what happened:

Sanity is in control of the board by one vote now! One vote! The lesson that has to be learned here is those of us who want a reasonable school board that isn’t full of book banners, homophobes, and history deniers need to consolidate around the exact number of seats that are open on the board! No more! We’ve had too many examples of this to not understand how it works by now!

If you need something to fight for, and ya’ll the local arena is where you can really make a difference, then make it paying attention to this board! Then, in two years time, make sure that you and everyone you know votes for the SAME people for whatever number of open seats there happens to be.

Let’s give you an example of what we are up against. If you take a look at the education section of Project 2025, you will see one of the proposals is to withhold school meals from schools who don’t fulfill their hateful agenda. Behold:

If this isn’t monstrous, then what is? Withholding food to kids is something dictators do! They also want to empower parents to sue school systems whenever they think any part of the curriculum goes against what the parents deem is against their rights. Can you imagine this? We know that the point of all of this is to undermine and break the public school system, so why are we allowing people onto the board that won’t fight against these policies? Why are we, as a county, not learning from past elections? Why? Why? Why?!!!

We’ll all have to hope for the best the next time around. We need to recharge and then to continue fighting the good fight for the sake of our county and our kids. Hopefully, y’all are with us.

We’ve been waiting for the second batch of mail in ballots to arrive before we put our 2 cents in, so forgive our late reply! If you want to peruse the elections results, click here. But who wants to look at boring numbers when you have our very fine analysis?!

President

Of course both Biden and Trump won, but it tickled the Yokel bone to see that over 3,600 of our local folks voted for Nikki Haley, who dropped out over 2 months ago! We shall see what that means for the law-breaking orange menace when November arrives!

U.S. Senate

Angela Alsobrooks, the County Executive from Prince Georges County, and former Governor Larry Hogan will run off for the open Senate seat. In our county over 4,000 of those votes went to Robin Ficker, which we can imagine are from the people who still refer to Hogan as “Lockdown Larry”. However, no matter what you think of Hogan (you can read he re about who recruited him to run), everyone needs to remember that we cannot risk a Republican controlled Senate. Let’s say Trump wins another term and Hogan tips that balance over to the Republicans, can you imagine the laws that we will be subjected to? Don’t count on this guy to protect women’s reproductive rights either. Remember this?

Despite pleas, Maryland Gov. Hogan won’t release funds early to train more abortion providers statewide

It’s time to gather around Alsobrooks to make sure that Maryland remains a sane voice in the nation’s capitol.

6th District Representative

First off we need to all laugh about Dan Cox’s loss.

But then we need to gather ourselves together because Neil Parrot is no freaking walk in the park either. Here’s Exhibit A:

We need to make sure that April Delaney makes the cut this November in order to push that balance back onto the Democratic side. The Republicans have proved time and again these past two years that they cannot handle the responsibility of governing in the House.

School Board Election:

UPDATE: Apple ballot is now in the top 3 spots with Veronica Lowe pulling up to 6th place:

Now it’s time for the results of the election we like to talk about the most. Here’s a handy little chart we made for y’all:

Or if you prefer:

Name	Early Voting	Electio-n Day	Mail In Ballot	Provisi-onal	Total	Perce-ntage
Colt Morningstar Black	1,646	7,682	1,121	NR	10,449	10.83%
Josh Bokee	1,412	6,395	3,010	NR	10,817	11.21%
Jaime Kiersten Brennan	1,818	8,327	1,229	NR	11,374	11.79%
Tabitha McLoughlin	836	4,359	741	NR	5,936	6.15%
Janie Monier	1,438	6,217	3,046	NR	10,701	11.09%
Chad King Wilson, Sr.	1,427	6,233	2,806	NR	10,466	10.85%

Do we like that the bigoted, book banner, Moms for Liberty candidate won the most votes in the primary election? Of course not. But this scenario works because in the General Election you choose three. Plus, many independent voters did not come out for the primary so these results don’t include those folks! We’ll have many posts about how Brennan, McLoughlin, and Black would be a nightmare for our board, but that is another post for another day. Just be sure that you tell all of your friends to vote for Bokee, Monier and Wilson! BMW for short!
