WASHINGTON — The United States Supreme Court has declined an appeal to a lawsuit filed by Dan Cox, the Republican candidate in Maryland's 2022 race for Governor.
Prior to last November's General Election Cox had opposed the State Board of Elections decision to count mail-in ballots before polls closed on Election Day.
