Maryland elections mostly ran smoothly, but some voters faced long lines, advocates say

ANNAPOLIS — Despite concerns about potential disruptions at the polls, Maryland election officials and advocates said the state systems held up fairly well Tuesday, Nov. 3. In some places, voters waited hours at polling sites, but still nearly 2 million Marylanders cast their ballots. “We thought things were really, really smooth overall,” said Nikki Tyree, executive director of the League of Women Voters of Maryland. “It was a great Election Day, but with that said, there are for sure improvements that we’ll be looking at for ’28.” For months the league and other advocacy groups across the state have been preparing for challenges voters may face at the polls, including the possible presence of federal officials, accessibility issues and voter confusion. The U.S. Department of Justice’s announcement that for the first time it was sending 1,000 poll monitors to all 50 states, including some to Prince George’s County in Maryland, raised more concerns about the federal government’s involvement in the voting process. Still, voters in Maryland turned out in large numbers and groups monitoring concerns at poll locations said there were no major complications. At a polling site in Takoma Park early on Election Day, U.S. Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md.,
