President-elect Donald Trump came nowhere close to winning reliably blue Maryland’s 10 electoral votes Tuesday, but he performed better in every one of its 23 counties and Baltimore City. A Baltimore Banner analysis of preliminary voting data suggests that Maryland followed a pattern that seems to be playing out nationally, with Trump gaining vote shares in every geographic corner compared to 2020.
