Maryland Republican Dan Cox Says Someone Commited Fraud By Filing Election Paperwork in His Name

Former Maryland gubernatorial candidate Dan Cox on July 3 said that someone had falsely filed paperwork in his name to run for his state’s 6th Congressional District.

“I have not filed. We’ve reported this matter to the FEC for fraud,” Cox wrote on Twitter.

“I have made no such filing and Valerie and I have made no decision yet,” the former state delegate wrote in an earlier statement on Facebook. “Apparently a far left new Delegate from Montgomery County has issued a press release that I’ve filed and apparently media says someone has filed my name. I did not do so and intend to take action to find out who did.”

Currently, Maryland’s 6th District is represented by third-term Rep. David Trone (D-Md.).

In May, Trone announced that he would be vacating the seat to run for Sen. Ben Cardin’s (D-Md.) Senate seat upon Cardin’s retirement at the end of his current term.

Cox, a former state delegate, received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump in his 2022 bid for the governorship. Although Cox defeated the more moderate Kelly Schulz in the GOP primary, he was ultimately routed by the state’s current Democrat Gov. Wes Moore.

Well, this is certainly interesting. Why would someone file the necessary paperwork for running in the 6th District in Dan Cox's name? If there is no serious investigation and arrest for this crime of fraud and identity theft, then you will know it was done by a Democrat for some reason.

Could it be a different Dan Cox?

“ Could it be a different Dan Cox?”
*************************************

That’s one of the thousands of items in the DemocRATS’ playbook. Could well be.

Doubtful. After some of the cringe worthy campaign ads Dan Cox ran while running for Governor anyone in MD with that name would have certainly applied for a name change.

Another Trump backed loser in an election he should have stayed out of.

Republicans have done it too.
Mike Doyle (R) ran for Congress in PA last year — a different Mike Doyle than the one who served in Congress as a (D).
