Trump urged the Justice Department and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to investigate Maryland’s mail-ballot mix-up, alleging without evidence that Gov. Wes Moore was involved and that Republicans were disadvantaged.
More than 500,000 voters requested mail ballots, and Maryland officials said a vendor error sent some voters the wrong party ballot before May 14 rather than “illegal” ballots, prompting a full replacement mailing.
Taylor Print & Visual Impressions said all corrected ballots will be remailed by May 29 and that only replacement ballots will be accepted, though officials have not publicly detailed the safeguards against duplicate voting.
The dispute has intensified Republican scrutiny ahead of Maryland’s June 23 primary, with the RNC citing its voter-roll lawsuit and expanding legal oversight, hotlines and voter education statewide.
