Maryland Voting

First the Maryland Democrats in a desperate attempt to get more votes decided to let all felons out of prison vote before they have paid all their fines or made restitution to their victims. Now they are tampering with the election by making sure that Democrat dominated areas get extra time to vote, but not Republican dominated areas. They also did not allow any Republican legislators on the committee to draft the bill. Even the liberal Washington Post editorial page thinks this is too much.

In the sanctified name of expanding the popular vote and widening access to the polls, Maryland Democrats have sacrificed fairness to partisan advantage. The Democrats, who dominate the state legislature in Annapolis, pushed through a bill allowing voting to take place for five days before Election Day -- but mostly at polling stations in Democratic strongholds.
