Maryland Board of Elections to review primary highs and lows

With Maryland’s June 2 primary under intense scrutiny from a slew of state officials, the Maryland State Board of Elections will meet Thursday to review the election.

The earlier-than-usual meeting comes amid calls for an investigation into Maryland’s June 2 election. The state’s first largely mail-in primary election saw high voter turnout — but was also rife with glitches and mishaps. [WTOP]
