As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Maryland Freedom Caucus is calling for a federal review of the voter rolls, while the state elections officials are working to re-send corrected ballots. The vendor has apologized for the error and assured that there is no risk of duplicate voting. The RNC has already been active in pursuing the state’s voter rolls, suing in December for Maryland failing to properly maintain voter rolls. The error has affected ballots requested and mailed before May 14, and voters who received the wrong ballot are being told to destroy it and use the replacement ballot. The state’s elections officials are working to eliminate doubts over the accuracy of the process, but the issue has increased Republicans’ election integrity scrutiny in the state.
The error has become a familiar ritual in the debate over election integrity.
