Outcry Over MD Primary Election Breakdowns Gets Louder (Baltimore still counting)
Patch ^ | 6/06/20 | Maryland Matters

Posted on 06/07/2020 8:43:09 PM PDT by Libloather

Maryland's congressional delegation on Thursday called for a review of the state's recent primary election, adding to mounting bipartisan criticism of elections officials.

In a joint statement, Sens. Benjamin L. Cardin and Chris Van Hollen, along with Reps. Steny H. Hoyer, C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, John P. Sarbanes, Kweisi Mfume, Anthony G. Brown, Jamie B. Raskin and David J. Trone, all Democrats, demanded "an urgent, thorough and rigorous review of the Maryland primary election."

"The primary election in Maryland on Tuesday was conducted under extraordinary circumstances that required timing changes and significant adjustments to voting methods," the statement reads. "Under this pressure, it is clear there have been a number of breakdowns in the process."

The congressional delegation joins a slew of state officials demanding answers in the wake of the glitch-plagued election.

As mailed-in ballots continued to trickle into local elections offices Thursday, the Baltimore City Board of Elections spent the day hand-counting ballots in the 1st City Council District, where some of the printed ballots were faulty; elections officials did not tally any results in the citywide contests for mayor, City Council president or comptroller.

Just a trail run for the real prize in November. They are fine honing their cheating.

Tomorrow will make it a full week to count the votes in a primary. Did someone run out of toner to print up the needed extra votes?

*** Baltimore City Board of Elections spent the day hand-counting ballots in the 1st City Council District ***

I see ‘the problem’ here. The 1st district has a higher percentage of ‘racist whites’ living there. So who is gaming the voting system now?

This election makes third world banana republics positively enlightened.

We just need some goats walking through the streets to make Maryland the same.

What a stinking joke.

I’ve been looking at the official state board of elections for primary results for my congressional district. It hasn’t been updated for days.
