The Supreme Court rejected on Feb. 21 Republican Dan Cox’s challenge to a state court order that he argued unconstitutionally allowed the early counting of mail ballots in the gubernatorial election he lost in the fall.
Cox, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, lost the Nov. 8, 2022, general election by a 2-to-1 margin to Democrat Wes Moore. Cox conceded the election to Moore, and his Supreme Court petition did not seek to overturn the election. Until last month when his term expired, Cox was a member of the Maryland House of Delegates.
