ANNAPOLIS, MD (AP) – Voters in Maryland selected Democrat Wes Moore to be their next governor. Moore defeated Republican Dan Cox in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1. Moore’s victory flips a governor’s office from Republican to Democrat. Voters also approved legalizing recreational marijuana in a constitutional amendment. The constitutional amendment defines that recreational marijuana would not be legal until July 2023 for people 21 and over, subject to a requirement that the General Assembly pass legislation regarding distribution, regulation, and taxation of marijuana. And Delaware Democrats solidified their hold on state government, winning all statewide races and picking up another seat in the state Senate.
