What is the reason for these changes? What is the impact/difference (before and after), by race, political party, income?
The Appeals Court of Maryland is the Governors court, hand- picked. No one can file for office, if the candidate isn’t retained, someone else is picked. They have to be no’ed out of office. It takes more effort to vote no than to leave the ballot| office blank. A no vote = a yes vote. When in doubt, just vote no [against] & leave things the way they are. We are coming upon a state ballot question concerning abortion, which is readily available. Therefore, things don’t change, so against would be the right way to handle it.
