Maryland primary again puts Democratic divisions on display
[WASHINGTONTIMES] The post-2016 trench warfare between the liberal and establishment wings of the Democratic Party flares up again in Maryland on Tuesday, when voters pick the party’s standard-bearer to take on popular Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican.Former NAACP leader Ben Jealous, No! Really? one of the front-runners in recent polls, is campaigning on a Bernard Sanders
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker, who supported  Perennial Presidential Campaigner Hillary Crooked HillaryClinton ... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... in 2016, is touting his longtime experience in local and state government and warning Democratic primary voters that "pretty-sounding words" won’t amount to much if a candidate doesn’t follow through with action. Mr. Jealous and Mr. Baker have separated themselves in polling from the other six candidates vying for the nomination to take on Mr. Hogan, though there are also a good number of voters who were still undecided heading into Tuesday. More than 220,000 ballots were cast in early voting from June 14 to June 21. And in a potentially major snag to Tuesday’s proceedings, the state announced Monday that some 80,000 voters may have to cast provisional ballots because some address and party changes weren’t properly recorded ‐ about four times what state officials had originally estimated over the weekend.
