Early Voting on Fast Senate Track

A constitutional amendment to permit early voting in Maryland has the honor of being Senate Bill 1 this year and sponsored by Senate President Mike Miller. As noted by the Baltimore Reporter, the bill is cosponsored by a majority of the Senate, including all of the Montgomery County Senators except Rona Kramer (District 14). Unlike the Baltimore Reporter, I can't say I'm terribly worried about fraud as most states in the nation already have early voting and manage it just fine. If adopted, the amendment would overturn the result of last year's Court of Appeals decision stating that the Maryland Constitution bars early voting.
