Democrat Kweisi Mfume is facing off against Republican Kim Klacik to serve out the remainder of the term after Cummings died last year at the age of 68. The Baltimore-area congressional district -- Maryland's 7th -- is heavily Democratic, making Mfume the favorite to win. The most unusual feature of the race, however, is that election officials are strongly encouraging constituents to vote by mail as a public health and safety measure amid the pandemic.
Mileah Kromer, an associate professor of political science at Goucher College, cautioned against drawing broad conclusions about the use of vote by mail during the election, noting that it is a stand-alone special election, not taking place in a regular cycle, in a district where Democrats significantly outnumber Republicans. "I would not use this as a data point in evaluating the merits of vote by mail. This is a really kind of unique election," Kromer said in an interview.
Honestly cannot believe BALTIMORE will walk backwards to invite a notorious failed politician back into office. So sorry for Kim Klacick who genuinely cares for the citizens of and Baltimore town... kimKBaltimore next go round.
