State lawmakers in Maryland will vote on the nomination of Diane Butler to the state elections board following the resignation of a member accused of taking part in the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Ms. Butler, a Republican who previously worked as a county elections official in Maryland, was questioned by state legislators earlier in the month, specifically probing her whereabouts on Jan. 6, 2021. Her predecessor, Carlos Ayala, resigned after he was charged with taking part in the events at the U.S. Capitol.
