ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Gov. Larry Hogan said Wednesday that he is concerned about Maryland’s new voting system “collapsing” next year due to problems found during testing, but the state’s elections administrator said she was confident in the system, which will have paper ballots as a backup.
The voting system came up unexpectedly at a Board of Public Works meeting, when Treasurer Nancy Kopp, a Democrat and one of three board members, asked how the state will manage voter education and outreach after a nearly $1 million contract was rejected by the board several months ago. Hogan, also a board member, said he was more concerned about the condition of the overall voting system, rather than what he described as a public relations campaign.
“I’m concerned about the entire system collapsing because, as I understand, the tests were sort of a dismal failure, and I think in one county there were 3,000 mistaken votes as I understand it,” said Hogan, a Republican.

Go Governor Hogan!
Let's hope he scraps the thing BEFORE the election.
Now there is a true man of conviction. Go Hogan. Do not let the DemocRATS continue their acts of voter fraud and manipulated voting machines.
Paper ballots.
Fixing something that wasn't broken in the first place. Now it will be a true problem.
