A sad state on the race to the bottom under Gov Moore leadership.
Can't win on policy and leadership and working hard on preserving a corrupt election system.
Zero adoption in Maryland’s election systems as of July 2026 for Federal directives for enhanced verification, centralized data access, standardized eligibility controls, and mail ballot security.

No wins or losses here:
Zero of the core cases commonly referenced in the “Trump and allies” tally were resolved on the basis of a court-ordered audit or independent forensic audit.

The decisions fell into these categories:
Dismissals for lack of evidence or standing (the large majority)
Dismissals on procedural or legal grounds (laches, statutory interpretation, equal-protection claims rejected)
Limited procedural rulings that affected only small numbers of ballots (e.g., ID-curing deadline or certain provisional ballots) and did not change the statewide result
None of these outcomes rested on the findings of any ballot audit

Federal law (18 U.S.C. § 611) makes it illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections.
Under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause (Art. VI), that federal law automatically overrides any state law or constitution that tries to allow it.
Federal courts enforce this.
Executive Branch enforces this by: DOJ criminal prosecutions of non-citizens who vote illegally
DOJ investigations and prosecutions of election officials who knowingly keep non-citizens on rolls or issue them federal ballots
Civil lawsuits and injunctions to force list maintenance
Cross-checking voter rolls against federal databases (DHS/SSA)
Withholding federal funds from noncompliant states/localities (where authorized)

@RepShontelBrown Federal law enforcement enforcing Federal laws - personal vendettas?
A sad commentary for those who enforce our laws and a sad commentary on how you work with the Executive Branch to make a better America for all of its citizens.

Medicare cost up 10%, continuing the historical path. One party going after, fraud, corruption, waste and promoting efficiency and sound management. The other party continuing to promote the fraud and corruption.
As with the provide sector, incompetent management leads to bankruptcy.
