By LIAM BOWMANCapital News ServiceBALTIMORE – Andrew Bounds arrived at the polls Tuesday morning resolved to split his ticket, casting a vote for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Senate candidate Larry Hogan. A longtime Republican, Bounds, a 54-year-old trucking company executive, felt compelled to oppose Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his anti-democratic rhetoric.  “Democracy is the number one issue for me,” Bounds said as he waited to vote at Francis Scott Key Elementary/Middle School in Locust Point. “I don’t agree with all the policies that Harris and Biden have had, but I certainly can’t support – for lack of a better word – an ‘a-hole’ to run our country.”“I do believe that [Trump] has fascist leanings, and he’s just… bad for our country,” he added. Of his decision to support Hogan in the Senate race, rather than Democratic nominee Angela Alsobrooks, Bounds said he was encouraged by the former governor’s reputation for bipartisanship. “I’ve always liked Larry Hogan. He was a great governor,” Bounds said. “I think he’d be a reasonable voice in the Senate. I think he’ll be John McCain-like, and he’ll vote his conscience and what he believes in. And he won’t vote the party lines necessarily.”When asked if he believed Hogan would resist pressure from his party’s right wing, Bounds said, “I don’t think he’ll vote party lines if it means supporting a Trump policy.” He added, “If he conducts himself in the Senate the way he did as a governor,  I think he’ll do just fine.”
