I truly wish @PBS would hire the team that @60Minutes has fired, including those-soon-to-leave Scott Pelley etc. and create their own version of this iconic program. Ratings would be huge.
Good will would be even larger.
40 Progressive Caucus Members are urging @Apple to reverse the announced closure of a unionized Apple Store in Towson, MD, in what appears to be a union-busting effort. Retaliating against organizing workers is against the law.
Today is the last day to change your political party affiliation. MD has a closed primary election. Meaning only Dems can vote in the Dem Primary & Reps can vote in the Rep Primary. Unaffiliated voters may not participate in those primaries. https://t.co/a4n3X23zl5
Before I was a senator, I was a teacher. I know what it means to show up every day for your students and feel like the system does not always have your back.
That is why the endorsement of the American Federation of Teachers means so much to me. This session we invested $10.1 billion in public education, fought to reduce class sizes, and stood up for the educators doing that work every day.
I will never stop fighting for the teachers who are educating the next generation of Marylanders.
Facts:
Mail-in voting is a legal, secure & transparent voting method
SBE has safeguards to ensure one vote is counted
Mail-in voting is not a partisan issue. Voting methods are not partisan. Ever.
SBE follows all federal & State laws in supervising & administering elections
Replacement mail-in ballots have started being mailed. Be on the lookout. We focus on providing voters with factual information- don’t get lost or confused with social influencers who only care about gaining more followers or going viral- #trustedsource for electoral information
To clarify, Maryland elections are administered, supervised and managed by the bipartisan State Board of Elections- not the Governor. I’m the chief State election official in charge of implementing and conducting the election.
It is vital for voters and the public to get accurate information and the facts regarding mail-in voting and the electoral process. That source is myself and the State Board of Elections- not a social media influencer.
The action taken for reissuance of ballots eliminates any doubt about the integrity or accuracy of mail-in voting in the Primary election where nominees are selected by the voters of two principal political parties. Facts can be found here: https://t.co/qotEodF7RL
🚨Pre-Primary 1 Campaign Finance Report was due yesterday. Check out the new filings- see who gave to your candidate and how campaign funds are being spent. Crazy 8s- 88.8% filed- non filers get daily late fees. Campaign finance reports are a great way to be an informed voter
I must add, this issue isnt a vote-by-mail issue but a ballot printing issue; vote-by-mail caught this printing error in enough time to fix the problem, with a month+ left to the voting deadline. If this printing error happened on election day, a lot more people would be screwed.
It bears repeating that no fake OR illegal mail-in ballots were distributed. The wording in President Trump's continued posts about Maryland's elections creates an environment of misinformation on a voting right. Mail-in voting is not a partisan issue. Mail-in voting is legal.

Yesterday, @GCAARNow began distributing materials to DC voters claiming that our Council along with @IAFF36 and DC Nurses endorsed @kenyanmcduffie. This claim is patently false.
Not only did we NOT endorse McDuffie, not a single union has endorsed him. Our statement:
Where are the student protests? The real answer isn’t that students decided to shut up.
It’s that universities and a hostile federal government have expended massive resources trying to ensure they do. https://t.co/OvsRGdF2AP
1000% agreed. Abigail was always helpful and kind when we had any questions. She took very eriously her role in making sure Baltimore residents could vote, and our city is better thanks to her dedication to the job. May her memory be a blessing.
Abigail was our direct line of contact for the past 3.5 years running ballot campaigns. She was always incredibly kind and professional.
She often responded to my emails outside of work hours. She was clearly a a dedicated public servant until the very end. Rest in Peace.
Philip Caputo wrote a best-selling classic about Vietnam, shared a Pulitzer for uncovering Chicago’s voting fraud, was captured by militants in Lebanon & shot by others, covered wars in Afghanistan to Africa, hunted big game & caught bigger fish
