Election Reform
Advocating for changes to county commissioner selection methods to protect minority votes from being overrun by majority counties.
“Pressure is growing on Maryland’s Senate to pass “historic civil rights legislation” that would change how some counties select their commissioners and aims to ensure that votes cast by minorities in those counties are not overrun by a county-wide majority.”
Voting Access
Opposing single early voting centers in St. Mary’s County as voter suppression.
“A plan to have just one early voting center for all of St. Mary’s County in the upcoming election is voter suppression, a local lawmaker says, charging that the county’s board of elections is deliberately making it harder for people of color to vote.”
External coverage from Maryland Matters highlights Hall’s advocacy for local election reform and civil rights legislation during the 2021 legislative session. Reporters note his pressure on the Senate to pass House Bill 655, which would alter county commissioner selection methods to protect minority voting power. Additionally, news reports document his stance that a single early voting center in St. Mary’s County constitutes voter suppression and hinders people of color from accessing the ballot.
