In Maryland, Wes Moore had a pretty huge underperformance compared to down ballot races trailing the AG and Comptroller by around 70,000 and 81,000 votes.
Even in the Blue Tsunami year of 2026, Wes Moore currently has fewer votes than Chris Van Hollen in 2022.

Thereβs already a billβthe Bivens Actβtailor-made to create a constitutional cause of action against federal officials and nothing more (or less).
It adds 5 words to Section 1983.
Congress should pass it.
wondering if anyone else has noticed the Wes Moore underperformance (I have no editorial here but it does seem notable to have 4% third party voting here vs 0.1% write-ins for AG and Comptroller)
