Answer 1

D. State elections in Maryland are only held in even-numbered years that do not coincide with a presidential election.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because most states in the United States hold their state and local elections on even-numbered years. However, to avoid conflicting with the presidential elections, some states, including Maryland, hold their state elections in even-numbered years that do not coincide with a presidential election. This means that the voter in the scenario would have to wait until the next state election in 2018 to try to elect representatives who better represent her views.
