Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Frequent Trump Critic, Casts Vote For Ronald Reagan
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) -- Maryland's Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, a frequent critic of President Donald Trump, has cast his ballot for the general election and did not vote for either of the two major-party candidates for president.
Hogan's communications director Mike Ricci tweeted Friday morning that the governor voted by mail last week.
