Sample and mail-in ballot hiccups hit several Maryland counties

Early in-person voting in Maryland’s primary elections begins Thursday, but issues with sample and mail-in ballots sent to voters have been cropping up across the state over the past few weeks as election boards adjust to redrawn district maps and a delayed election date. In Montgomery County, 791 residents received two mail-in ballots after state ballot vendor Taylor Corp. mistakenly mailed an additional ballot to a batch of voters, according to county and state officials.
