Maryland Comes Up Six Stalwart Delegates Short of Unanimity

Southern Maryland Online, by CHRISTOPHER WEAVER

But at Wednesday night’s roll call vote, when Obama became the party’s official nominee, Maryland cast 94 of its 100 votes for Obama and only six for Clinton. The votes, in the end, didn’t matter, because Clinton moved to end the roll call early and nominate Obama by acclamation, “with one voice.”
