Laws being introduced to continue mail-in voting in future elections
February 23, 2021
MARYLAND – It’s no secret that the recent election was controversial, but now Maryland lawmakers are considering ways to strengthen the mail-in voting system. On Tuesday, the Maryland House Ways and Means Committee held a public hearing on two bills that lawmakers say would strengthen the state’s mail-in voting process.
State republican Delegate, Wayne Hartman weighs in on the subject of mail-in voting and says, “I just think there are so many opportunities for people to vote in-person.” While democratic Delegate, Jheanelle Wilkins sponsored both of the bills and stands firm on creating a permanent mail-in voting system. “In 2020 more voters voted by mail then ever before and think that we’ll continue to see an upward trend of vote by mail because of it,” says Del. Wilkins.
