    TOWSON--State Prosecutor Emmet C. Davitt announced Friday Wendy W. Rosen, the Democratic 2012 nominee in Maryland's First Congressional District, pleaded guilty in the Circuit Court of Baltimore to charges of voting illegally in Maryland in the 2006 and 2010 general elections. ...

    A Maryland Democratic candidate quit her congressional race Monday after her own party told state officials that she had committed fraud by voting in both Maryland and Florida in recent elections. Wendy Rosen, a small-business owner running against freshman Rep. Andy Harris (R) in the Eastern Shore-based 1st Congressional District, released a statement saying that “with great regret, and much sorrow” she was resigning from the contest. “Personal issues have made this the hardest decision that I have had to make,” Rosen said Rosen’s announcement came the same day the state Democratic party released a letter to state Attorney General...
