Washington Post: With 100k votes already mailed in, in-person voters cast ballots to fill Cummings’s seat
Joanne Antoine, executive director of Common Cause Maryland, said voting advocates aimed to avoid that very situation, but are hopeful there will be fewer problems with voters receiving their ballots in June.
The special election on Tuesday was arranged too quickly for the state to launch a widespread voter education campaign, she told reporters on a conference call Tuesday afternoon. She urged Hogan to ensure adequate funding for extensive communications ahead of the primary.
“I’m sure we would have seen more voters participating in the 7th District special election if more of an effort was made to reach them,” Antoine said.
