"Two campaign aides to Republican former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that they violated election laws last fall by ordering Election Day robocalls to Democratic homes in predominantly African-American areas that suggested the vote was over.
Monday's arraignment was the first appearance in Baltimore Circuit Court by Paul Schurick, a longtime Ehrlich aide, and Julius Henson, a consultant to Ehrlich's 2010 campaign."
