Getting Closer to You on election day!

Please hum the Carpenter's Close to You...

Voters, aren't you tired of having advocates for various campaigns and issues so FAR away from the entrance to voting locations on election day? Don't you wish that these advocates could be, say just 25 feet away from you, instead of the 100 feet they must be under current Maryland law? 

Well guess what! Your legislators in Annapolis have thought about this problem and come up with a solution. Thanks to legislation proposed by Delegate Eric Luedtke a special exception will be created for Montgomery County polling locations. 

Poll workers, party and union volunteers, paid lobbyists etc... will be able to be just 25 feet away from the entrance and exit of a polling place instead of the pesky 100 feet required by current Maryland law.  Montgomery County will get a special exception!  Just what you wanted!
