RE: Museums as polling places

Since we were in the heart of Southern Maryland's Confederacy, I really wish we could hear the talk that went on in our tavern, especially during the 1860 election. Mr. Lincoln received only one vote in our entire county in that election. Oddly, we don't know who the gentleman was who voted for him, but we do know that he resided in the southern-most region (geographically) of Prince George's County. Perhaps he did it as a joke? I will double-check this, but Lincoln did a little better in 1864. Maybe because Union soldiers were allowed to vote whether citizens of Maryland or not? |
