Trying to change the election law after the election...the law states that mail-in ballots have to arrive by Election Day, except oversees ballots. Those have to arrive within 10 days. The Dems are suing to apply the 10 day rule to all mail in ballots. Makes it sound like there are bins of more ballots they want to count that are not eligible.

Whitaker’s appointment as acting attorney general is unlawful, Maryland says
President Trump’s new acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker is facing questions of legitimacy, with the state of Maryland reportedly set to ask a federal judge for an injunction declaring his appointment illegal.
The state is likely to make an unpreceded move on Tuesday in a bid to block Whitaker from exercising the duties in the position, arguing that his appointment is not legitimate. The state will claim that deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein is the rightful acting attorney general, the New York Times reported....
But other legal scholars say Whitaker's appointment is legitimate. Former federal prosecutor and Fox News contributor Andrew McCarthy claims the Vacancies Act allows the president to temporarily fill a position that requires Senate confirmation with any official who’s been in the department for over 90 days.
