There’s a contest for U.S. Senate on the ballot. Really?

Fifty years ago, both U.S. Ssenators from Maryland were Republicans. In 1976, a Democratic congressman from Baltimore City named Paul Sarbanes took on incumbent Republican J. Glenn Beall and beat him with 59% of the vote. Sarbanes would hold on to that seat for 30 years, a record five terms for Maryland.
