Democrat Kweisi Mfume won a special congressional election in Maryland on Tuesday and will replace the late Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) for the rest of his term in the state’s 7th district.
Cummings, who chaired the House Oversight Committee, died at 68 in October 2019. His office told news outlets that he died due to “complications concerning longstanding health challenges.” Following Cummings’s death, over 30 people—including some two dozen Democrats—announced bids for the seat he had held since 1996.
Mfume defeated Republican Kimberly Klacik to win the seat, with The Associated Press calling the race after 8 p.m. local time. The 71-year-old Democrat had earlier held the seat for five terms from 1987 to 1996, before he left Congress and chaired the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) civil rights group, from 1996 until 2004. The NAACP is based in Baltimore.
Mfume will now serve out the remainder of Cummings’s term, which ends in January. He may run again in the state’s June 2 primary in hopes of winning reelection in November to serve a full term. The primary was originally scheduled for April but was postponed by Gov. Larry Hogan due to the CCP virus.
All voters in the 7th Congressional District were strongly urged to vote by mail due to the pandemic caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, also known as the novel coronavirus. The Maryland Board of Elections had authorized mail-in ballots and sent out ballots weeks in advance. Three in-person polling stations were still opened on Tuesday for those who were unable to cast a mail ballot, such as those without mailing addresses or voters who require special assistance.
All I can say is... Ugh.
Democrats NEVER lose mail-in voting fraud.
Re-tread. I’m sure that there are several local West Baltimore politicians who aren’t happy that they got muscled out of the way by this dinosaur.
The Maryland Africanization continues.
Do you mean Frizzell Gerald Gray, or is he ashamed of his given name? A typical racist and anti-Christian mooooslum.
Queasy N Fuming.
Throw back to the 90’s
Will there be another bimbo eruption?
Better than Cummings’ wife.
His real name is Frizzel Grey. He has a number of illegitimate children by different women. He was and will be a hack politician.
He’s a wild and kweisi guy.
Yep.
There is never a shortage of failed black Marxists to win Congressional seats.
I immediately assumed that Elijah had been a little too voluble with the wrong people at the wrong time and caught the Arkansas virus. I still think that was the cause and will continue until someone proves otherwise.
The scenario as I imagine it: Elijah’s wife is caught crossing the yellow line on financial matters—I don’t recall the particulars. Suddenly Elijah’s very vulnerable as an investigation ensues. Was he cooperating? How much did he know about Hillary, Comey, Brennan et al.?
His real name is Frizzel Grey.
Boy him momma must have really hated him.
It's worse when white people's names get "africanized."
Hard to imagine finding someone as Racist, Corrupt, and Stupid as Cummings but the DemonRatz hit a home run with Quasi.

Quasi has been there for years, and then he left to lead the NAACP. These guys never retire or fade away. Like Vampires, they keep returning.
RE: i hate the fake african names.
For those who don’t know, Kweisi’s birth name as Frizzell Gerald Gray. In the early 1970s, to reflect his African heritage, he changed his name to Kweisi Mfume, comprising words of Akan and Swahili origin.
Yep. Nothing changes.
Frizzell is pretty awful too.
