Clinton Defeats Trump In Maryland, Wins State's 10 Electoral Votes

BALTIMORE (AP) — Hillary Clinton has won the presidential contest in Maryland.

The Democrat defeated Republican businessman Donald Trump on Tuesday to pick up 10 electoral votes.

Clinton was heavily favored to win Maryland. Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-to-1 in the state. Not even Republican Gov. Larry Hogan supported Trump. Instead, Hogan wrote in the name of his father.

The state's urban and suburban areas are home to many of Maryland's Democrats, while Maryland's rural areas swing Republican.

Clinton's victory marks the seventh consecutive Maryland presidential victory for Democrats.

George Bush was the last Republican to win Maryland. That was 28 years ago, in 1988.
