Patriotic Pups: Maryland pets show up at the polls

COLLEGE PARK, Maryland — Last week, more than 110 million voters cast their ballots, making the 2018 midterm election the most voted-in in United States history.

Many of those voters posted photos with their “I voted” stickers on social media, but humans weren’t the only ones showing enthusiasm for fulfilling their civic duties.

Several Maryland dog owners posted photos of their furry friends sporting the iconic sticker and the CNS social team rounded up a few of their favorites.

I will take a quick break from posting the last voter videos to share these cute pictures of Barney the dog who “voted” at Belmont Elementary School in Olney Mill. #MontgomeryCountyMD #MoCoVotesMCM #ElectionDay #MoCoVotes #MarylandElection #MarylandPolitics pic.twitter.com/Ec8jPhtHs6
