Maryland officials say election proceedings were secure

Federal and state officials and democracy watchdogs monitoring Maryland’s November elections confirmed the fairness and validity of the voting process during early voting and on Election Day, according to federal and state authorities. State and local authorities combined again in November to observe elections and protect the right to vote, a longstanding practice in Maryland and nationally. Interfering with an individual’s right to vote violates state and federal laws. The Maryland State Board of Elections said in a statement they are “unaware of any incident that had a material effect on the 2022 Gubernatorial General Election. The entire election process was free, fair and secure.”
