Maryland voters are heading to the polls for early voting, with hot weather and opinions marking the first day. Candidates across parties are finding common ground in their opposition to data centers, a concern also voiced by residents in Frederick County who fear it becoming a "data center alley." Meanwhile, legislative races are seeing legal battles, as seen in Baltimore County's District 6. State election officials are pushing back against the DOJ's request for voting records, asking a judge to block access to sensitive voter information.
