On today's episode we hear a rebroadcast of the 2024 UMBC Constitution Day Lecture, sponsored by UMBC's Center for Social Science Scholarship and the UMBC Department of Political Science. This year's lecture was delivered by Jared DeMarinis, the Maryland State Administrator of Elections. Mr. DeMarinis describes how elections work in Maryland, some of the state's early contributions to the way elections are conducted across the United States, and discusses the challenges of administering elections in a time of deep political polarization.
