A head to head comparison of the 2022 Maryland Primary gives us an idea of the break down of the voters.
Wes Moore received 22.51% (217.52k votes) beating both Tom Perez who had 20.92% (202.16k votes) and Dan Cox who had 15.88% (153418 votes) in the overall count of votes in Maryland if the election were among these 3 candidates.
Dan Cox wins 16 counties out of the counties in the state of Maryland to support his claims of his movement in the country. Wes Moore won 4 counties and Joe Biden won just 2 counties in the state of Maryland.
These 10 counties play an important role in these primary elections. If a candidate, can get a sizable majority, it becomes very difficult to win majorities in the smaller counties with out voter out reach and increased voter participation in them.
