Tuesday voters head to the polls to make some serious decisions. Besides voting for a new President, Maryland voters will tackle a couple of important ballot questions, which includes question number one, whether early voting should be allowed.
It's something voters in 33 other states already have, but Maryland's state constitution does not allow it. If question number one is approved, Maryland will be able to cast ballots up to two weeks before an election.
The amendment has the support of the Democratic leadership in Annapolis; however, Republicans oppose it because some said it would open the door to voter fraud.
There's also question number two, slot machines. Slots is a hotly contested issue. Some believe if Marylanders approve the proposal and amend the state constitution to allow 15,000 slots at five locations, there will be zoning fights.
If voters reject the idea, some believe the Horse Racing industry will fail and the state's budget will not get a boost. Recently both sides have been airing commercials to make their arguments on slots.
Soon Marylanders will head to the polls to vote. The Presidency is not the only focus of the election. After years of gridlock in Annapolis, millions of dollars spent by gambling interests and protest rallies, voters will have a say about slot machines in Maryland.

Recently both sides have been airing commercials to make their arguments on slots. On Monday Marylanders United will gather for two anti-slots rally's, while proponents get their message out with taped phone calls from the Governor. He's urging people to vote for Question two.
