Md. Election Board Members To Consider Restricting Administrator’s Authority

The Maryland State Board of Elections will consider restricting some authority from State Election Administrator Linda Lamone to interpret election law on her own after one of her rulings gave a fundraising advantage to Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown’s gubernatorial campaign without the board’s consent or knowledge in December.

“There seems to be a momentum within the board for preventing this sort of situation from recurring,” said Rachel McGuckian, a Democratic member of the five-member board.

A motion to transfer some authority to review rulings back to the board will be made on Feb. 27 during the state board’s monthly meeting, according to McGuckian and other sources with knowledge of the board.

  1. They all want/need Brown to win. If he doesn't, they may lose their cushy job, with zero responsibility and zero accountability. The federal, state and local governments are way overstaffed, meaning more of our tax dollars needed... and no one wants that to stop.
