U.S. Senate candidate Benjamin Cardin, D-Md., said he is not confident in the Maryland voting system, stating the problems experienced in the primaries would discourage people from voting, according to The Washington Post.
In the Maryland primaries, a lack of ballots forced voters to use everything from scrap papers to campaign fliers, The Eagle previously reported. Many of the people trained to operate the voting machines also did not bring the election worker identification cards necessary to work the machines.
“I am not convinced that they know how to run this election so that voters will not be inconvenienced to a point where they don’t participate,” Cardin told The Post.
Cardin’s doubts come after Maryland officials announced they will be using an electronic voting system, which was one of the systems that caused numerous problems in the primaries, according to The Post.
