Election law sparks committee meeting at Carrollton Hotel
The Sun notes marked activity at the Democratic State committee meeting in Baltimore on Tuesday. A key provision requires a voter to apply in person to transfer from their enrolled precinct. A Wicomico resident moved to Allegany would face a trip to the old home to transfer, challenging busy or poor registrants. One fix proposed is to swear off moved names at each polling place, allowing new registration next day but only if done on the first day of registration.
