MD-07 Special Election Results
https://decisiondeskhq.com/md-07-special-election-results/
April 28, 2020 by DDHQ Staff
The race between Democrat Kweisi Mfume and Republican Kimberly Klacik is to fill the reminder of the term of Elijah Cummings who died last fall. The balloting was conducted almost entirely by mail (with limited day of, in-person voting) and is one of the few non-primary election campaigns conducted during Covid-19 restrictions.
Polls close at 8pm and we expect first results shortly after that.
MD-07 is a heavily Democratic leaning district and Mfume is considered the favorite to wing.
