<Title>Ian G. Anson, Who are the Hogan Democrats?  UMBC Knows</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>In the weeks following Maryland’s 2018 gubernatorial election, many 
    commentators have sought to explain voters’ support for Republican 
    Governor <a title="Larry Hogan" href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/politics-government/government/larry-hogan-PEPLT0009123-topic.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Larry Hogan</a> in a blue state. His convincing re-election win has been attributed to his <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/larry-hogan-beat-the-trump-effect-in-maryland/2018/11/09/ed820566-e2b1-11e8-8f5f-a55347f48762_story.html?utm_term=.672a6381ed0a" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">lasting popularity</a>, his <a href="https://www.vox.com/2018/11/2/18056172/democrats-larry-hogan" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">expertly-run</a> and <a href="https://wamu.org/story/18/08/28/hogan-huge-money-advantage-marylands-gubernatorial-race-jealous-predicts-blue-wave/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">well-funded</a> campaign, and the <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Democrat-Ben-Jealous-Struggles-in-Blue-Maryland-493815401.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">political missteps</a> of challenger <a title="Ben Jealous" href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/politics-government/government/ben-jealous-PEGPF00097-topic.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Ben Jealous</a>, among other factors.</p>
    <p>But in an electoral environment in which <a title="Republican Party" href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/politics-government/republican-party-ORGOV0000004-topic.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Republicans</a> and <a title="Democratic Party" href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/politics-government/democratic-party-ORGOV0000005-topic.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Democrats</a> hold each other in <a href="https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/09/05/negative-partisanship-explains-everything-215534" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">deep disregard</a>, these election results deserve a closer look. How <em>exactly </em>did Larry Hogan win re-election in a state <a href="https://elections.maryland.gov/press_room/documents/PG12/PrecinctRegisterCounts/Statewide.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">dominated by registered Democrats</a>?</p>
    <p>To answer this question, students from the <a href="https://poli.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">political science department</a> at the <a href="https://www.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">University of Maryland, Baltimore County</a>
     launched the inaugural UMBC Retriever Exit Poll. On Election Day, our 
    team of 25 undergraduate student researchers fanned out across Baltimore
     County, visiting a total of eight polling sites. We traveled from 
    Dundalk to Woodlawn, all in search of voters who would be willing to 
    answer a nonpartisan, scientific survey.</p>

    <div>The crisis unfolding today started with the death last March of <strong>David Dragicevic</strong>, a 21-year-old activist who had <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/one-mans-campaign-for-justice-shakes-bosnian-serb-old-guard/4571415.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">previously protested</a> police
     brutality and unexplained deaths. Despite wounds suggesting a violent 
    struggle, authorities initially ruled his death a suicide. David’s 
    father accused the authorities of a cover-up and began staging daily 
    protests.</div>
