Early voting slows in Maryland. Ballot boxes set on fire in Oregon, Washington: What to know

With about a week until Election Day, voters continued to show up early in Maryland — but not as frequently as on day one. Early in-person voting dropped over the weekend as the combined number of voters for Saturday and Sunday slightly topped those who voted on Thursday, the first day of early in-person voting. More than 1,800 registered to vote and 154,233 people cast their ballots at the state’s 97 early voting centers between Saturday and Sunday — the third and fourth days of early voting, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections.
