[The Washington Post] Md. Gov. Larry Hogan says he tried to expand access to voting. Instead, he sparked a revolt.

Any changes to the absentee ballot applications in Maryland — including renaming them “mail-in” ballots — involves a formal notification and approval process that takes a month. None can be mailed until after the state board approves them during a Wednesday meeting. And without an emergency proclamation from Hogan to change state law, none of those mailed-in ballots can be opened or counted until two days after Election Day.
