Maryland Republican Plans To Vote For Gore If House Is Forced To Pick President

Representative Connie Morella, a Maryland Republican whose congressional district is in the Washington suburbs, says in a published interview she will vote for Vice President Al Gore if the disputed presidential race has to be decided in the House of Representatives.

Morella told the Baltimore Sun she believes she has little option but to reflect the views of her district by supporting Gore. She barely survived a close re-election to a seventh term as her district went heavily for the Democrats.

Maryland's eight-member congressional delegation is split between four Democrats and four Republicans. Morella's defection from party ranks would result in the state's single ballot in the presidential election being awarded to Gore.

However, insiders say Republican George W. Bush would likely defeat Gore if the contest is decided in the House because Republicans have a majority in 28 state delegations while 18 state delegations are controlled by Democrats.

Connecticut, Nevada and Illinois have evenly split delegations like Maryland's.

But no one believes the race will wind up in the House, which the Constitution designates as a last resort in order to decide presidential elections.

Another Maryland Republican, Representative Robert Ehrlich told the Sun, "Nobody believes it will go to the House. Nobody's even talking about it."

GOP Representative Wayne Gilchrist said he would back Bush because his Maryland district did. Representative Roscoe Bartlett , according to spokesperson Lisa Wright, would "vote to reflect the views of his constituents in the presidential contest. So he would vote to back Bush."

Morella frequently disagrees with the House GOP leadership. She voted against all four articles of impeachment against President Clinton in 1998.

The Maryland Republican Party directed inquiries for comment to the state party chairman Richard Bennett. Bennett couldn't be reached for comment.
