It was three years ago, when a shaken Democratic Party – led by its de facto leader Congressman Elijah Cummings – coalesced around the most likely of candidates, who with their resources could defeat the democratic front-runner for Mayor at the time, Sheila Ann Dixon.
So, these officials hatched a scheme to ensure, by any means necessary, that State Senator Catherine Pugh was declared the winner of the democratic primary, which ultimately led to a mismanaged election process that wound up being decertified for the first time in state history.
Dixon, the former Mayor of Baltimore City who was convicted of one count of fraudulent misappropriations due to a gift card program that she herself created as the city’s Council President, had led in every major poll from the start of the 2016 mayoral race up until the end. In fact, earlier that year, when the January annual filings were set to be published by every candidate running for office, the Pugh campaign realized that they had to appear to have enough money to at least compete with Dixon, otherwise their campaign would take a hit that it was unlikely to come back from.
