Maryland Lt. Gov. Responds to Trump's Claims of Corruption Over Mail-in Voting Error

Maryland Lieutenant Governor Aruna Miller responded to President Donald Trump's call for a Justice Department investigation into a mail-in ballot error in the state. Trump alleged corruption related to the distribution of incorrect mail-in ballots for the upcoming primary elections, blaming Democratic Governor Wes Moore for the issue. The Maryland State Board of Elections acknowledged an error by its mail-in ballot vendor, Taylor Print & Visual Impressions, Inc. Miller emphasized that the Board operates independently from the governor's administration and noted that errors in ballot distribution are common in elections. She stated, 'It happens almost in every election.' While there have been election administration errors in the past, there is no evidence to support the claim that incorrect mail ballots occur in every election. The state elections board plans to send new ballots to voters affected by the error and assured that there is no risk of duplicate voting. Trump has requested an investigation into the matter, but the Department of Justice has not announced any action as of yet.
