At the meeting, Murphy summarized Ehrlich's stance on illegal immigration the same way Murphy characterizes Ehrlich's stance on taxes, spending, and even early voting.
"My opponent is more interested in being Governor than in actually governing. On every major issue he switches his stance depending on the audience. His latest change in heart, this time regarding early voting, is nothing more than an opportunistic about-face by a career politician. Before he was opposed to it, but now that our campaign is gaining ground, he supports it. Maryland needs a Governor who is consistent, who has conviction, and who will lead."
As reported today by the Politico story, Ehrlich's early-voting conundrum, Ehrlich recently made a political switch to push for early voting this election cycle, even though he led a petition drive to prevent early voting in 2006.
"Ehrlich knows what we know: that the momentum for the Brian Murphy campaign is gaining steam and turning in our favor and that’s why he is pushing early voting. Now that he stands a chance of losing, he has switched his position and is doing everything with the cooperation of the RNC to suppress the will of the people," Murphy told Politico.
Ehrlich and the RNC worked together to tilt the field in favor of Ehrlich by waving Rule 11, even though at the time Murphy had filed for office and Ehrlich had not.
"After the public outcry when the national party appeared to be tinkering with the Alaska's vote count, you would think the RNC would get the message and stop trying to decide Primary Elections," said Murphy.
Brian Murphy and Robert Ehrlich are running in the Republican Primary on September 14th. Governor Martin O’Malley is running in the Democratic Party Primary on September 14. The winners of the respective parties’ elections will square off against each other in the November 2 General Election.
