An article published June 19 in the Baltimore Jewish Times analyzed several Maryland General Assembly and Congressional races ahead of primary day on June 24. Donald Norris, professor and chair of UMBC’s public policy department, was interviewed for the article and said incumbents will likely have an advantage come primary day.
“All the incumbents will win,” predicted Norris, “because the state has been so effectively gerrymandered, and none of them has any [viable] opposition in the primary.”
Norris added it is more difficult to predict who will win the primary in the Maryland attorney general race because “turnout is going to be abysmally low,” adding that a turnout as small as 20 percent wouldn’t surprise him.
