Aggression at Baltimore Voting Site

Tensions exploded at a Baltimore early voting site as supporters of State Senator Dalya Attar clashed violently with those of her opponent, Delegate Malcolm Ruff. A supporter of Attar, Ronald Rosenbluth, allegedly hurled antisemitic slurs and physically threatened a 78-year-old Ruff supporter, Betsy Krieger, before being restrained. The chaos escalated when Attar campaign workers allegedly bumped and struck Krieger and her companion, Erica Puente, who stepped in to defend her. The incident underscores a deeply divided district with a large Black and Orthodox Jewish population, amid a contentious campaign fueled by a recent indictment against Attar and others involving extortion and secretly recorded videos — with Rosenbluth himself appearing on the defendants’ restricted contact list and having resigned from the Sheriff’s Office after the revelation. Ruff’s team urges unity, while Krieger and Puente demand apologies and call for Rosenbluth’s removal from the central committee, citing his unsuitability for leadership.
