Voters Head to the Polls as D.C. Weighs a Socialist Mayor and Maryland Weighs New District Lines
Tuesday's contests put a socialist mayoral candidacy in the capital and a redistricting fight in Maryland before voters, with the midterms looming over both.
D.C. voters are voting on Tuesday in the mayoral election, a contest that for many voters puts the direction of the capital on the ballot.
According to The Washington Times, D.C. voters will in all likelihood elect the first socialist mayor in the history of the nation's capital — a prospect that critics of the left will see as a warning about where urban politics is heading.
Across the line, Marylanders are voting on Tuesday in a congressional redistricting contest, and according to The Washington Times the redistricting skirmish has ricocheted from state to state ahead of the midterms.
