This appears to be a comprehensive review of a spectrum of voting and elections laws, policies, and procedures to protect against threats of election denialist such as voter suppression, threats to election officials and workers, misinformation, hacking. Maryland scores fairly low in risk but has partisan primaries, partisan gerrymandering, discrimination in favor of the two majority parties, and allows guns in polling places. Maryland lacks risk-limiting audits and policies to limit length of lines and lags on procedures for voters with disabilities. Maryland lacks a statewide voting rights law that can counter local racial/ethnic discriminatory policies in districting, poll location, etc.
