		<description><![CDATA[The iron grip held on the four-county 36th legislative district by former state Sen. E.J. Pipkin ( R) for over a decade has crumbled in the past week since he announced his resignation and departure from Maryland, with a crowded field of hopefuls lining up to seek appointment to his seat. By early evening Monday, there were 14 declared candidates, sources said. But the political dynamic of the contest— which is, at least initially, in the hands of the Republican Central Committees in each of the four counties comprising the district—could be complicated by the sheer volume of candidates and the potential for the Democratic Governor Martin O’Malley to have the final say if the committees do not unite on a single candidate. The four counties of the district—Cecil, Queen Anne’s, Kent and Caroline—each get, in effect, one vote. State law specifies the name of a candidate receiving a majority of the county committees will be sent to the governor for automatic ratification. But if two of the committees were to pick different candidates, and another candidate got two counties’ votes, it is unclear if that would be considered a &#8220;tie&#8221; to be broken by the governor.
