BALTIMORE — The U.S. Supreme Court has declined the request of former Republican gubernatorial candidate Dan Cox to review a judge’s decision allowing Maryland to count mail-in ballots before Election Day in November.
In a petition, Cox’s attorney argued a Montgomery County circuit judge incorrectly granted a State Board of Elections request in September to permit ballot counting as early as Oct. 1 to accommodate an expected deluge of mail-in ballots.
The Supreme Court listed Cox’s appeal Tuesday among a number of cases it declined without comment to hear.
