Hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots were re-sent to Maryland voters after a vendor error. Has that error been rectified? Matt Bush talks with Maryland State Administrator of Elections Jared DeMarinis. WYPR statehouse reporter Sarah Petrowich talks about Senate President Bill Ferguson’s recent movement on redistricting and the challenge to his Senate seat from newcomer Bobby LaPin. Matt also speaks with WYPR’s Nathanael Miller about Maryland’s 6th Congressional District, which stretches from Montgomery County to the edge of the state. Incumbent Rep. April McClain Delaney is being challenged by the former incumbent, David Trone, who helped put her in office. Osita Nwanevu, a political reporter for The Guardian, discusses the challenges of reporting during trying times. Finally, we head to Bowie State University to find out more about faculty layoffs there.
