WASHINGTON (AP) — Maryland voters will decide a competitive race for U.S. Senate on Election Day, a rarity for the left-leaning state. The high profile contest pits a Democratic county executive against a Republican who has twice won statewide. While Maryland isn’t attracting significant attention from either major party presidential candidate, the Senate race has become one of the most closely watched contests in the country. Maryland will also fill three open seats in the U.S. House, while Mayor Brandon Scott seeks reelection in Baltimore. Voters also will decide whether to approve an amendment enshrining abortion rights into the state’s constitution.
