Some good points Blair Lee made this morning

During his hour with Kendel and Bob Ehrlich:

• The slots amendment to the Maryland constitution that we just voted in has no "maintenance of effort" clause. Which means we have no guarantee that funds from slots will go to education as promised by the pro-slots folks.
• Redistricting reform (to prevent gerrymandering) should be a top-burner* issue in Maryland.
• Early voting is a solution looking for a problem. When tried in other states it has not increased voter turnout.
• Loosened criteria for obtaining absentee ballots are an invitation to fraud.

*Anyone interested in reforming the redistricting process should be aware that the rules for updating US Congressonal districts in Maryland are controlled at the state level by our state senators and state delegates.
