Maryland Aide Urges End to State Convention Delegates
Annapolis AP A Maryland Assistant Attorney General proposed ending the election of state political convention delegates and giving their jobs to the Central Committee. The plan would have county central committee members elected for four years serve as delegates and would reduce a perceived futile office. The Legislature's Election Laws panel heard the idea amid debate on how to fix primary shifts from May to September. A second idea would elect delegates in the gubernatorial primary two years prior, but committee members rejected a costly special election option.

Reapportionment Doubts Hit Maryland Plan From Fred Eck County
Maryland lawmakers from Fredeck County spoke against a reapportionment plan approved by the Maryland Legislative Council for the General Assembly. Republicans and Democrats argued over population variance, with concerns the Senate would expand to 45 members across 24 districts and many districts would exceed the 15 percent variance standard. The governor may call a special session, but Attorney General Finan questioned plan legality under the one person one vote rule.
