What is this Blue Wave they are talking about . One senate position that the republican running was an accused Young girl stalker. and they barely won ?

Be all you can be!

Delusional.

It has tried to commit suicide twice. It has serious mental issues, so it would be right at home running as a democrat.

As the link in the OP says, this could be a good thing. Given the choice between crazy "Chelsea" and a sane repub, MD might just go rebub. One can hope!

Might not can run. Felon. Not pardoned, the sentence was just excuses for his crimes.

Senate requirements say you don't have to be a non-convict. You can be a felon and run for Senate you just can't vote.

OK, he/she wins but can't vote. Repub wins and can vote. Sounds like the best of both worlds, no?

Sadly, a large block of voters will vote simply because of what it is, and disregard past actions or qualifications.

Restoration of Voting Rights in Maryland
Can I have my voting rights restored in Maryland if I have previously been convicted of a felony?

Effective, March 10, 2016, if you have been convicted of a felony and have completed serving a court-ordered sentence of imprisonment, you are eligible to register to vote.

You do not qualify to register to vote if you have been convicted of buying or selling votes.

Not pardoned. The punishment was just eliminated. Time served kind of thing.

Restoration of voting rights is a mighty big subject that can spin off in lots of directions. Sometimes it's not a bad thing; sometimes it's crazy.

In this case...nah, too many other, better ways to approach this subject.
