Petition Drives Still Challenging In Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — For the first time in 20 years, Maryland voters had a chance last November to decide whether major legislation passed by state lawmakers would become law, thanks largely to the help of an online tool that made it easier to submit valid signatures in referendum petition drives.

The sudden appearance of three ballot questions after two decades without any made some in Annapolis talk about referendums becoming a regular feature on Election Day, giving outnumbered Republicans a new way of battling against the Democratic majority in the Maryland General Assembly.

Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley and some lawmakers even mentioned the possibility of raising the bar from the verified 55,736 signatures needed to trigger a referendum.

In the end, they didn’t need to.

does it matter? the point here is they want to make it more hard for you to get things on referendum ballots even though they cans and will still use voter fraud to get what they want...

As in all the other states, there not seems to be fraud coming to light in which obama was re-elected, yet nothing is being done to stop it, or to criminally charge anyone and if they did holder or obama would pardon them...


Go on sheeple, follow right along as you have been, I don't wanna hear shit when you lose everything once you're free ride goes away, and then try to blame the current people now who are actively trying to stop this... You will one day be blaming us for not stopping or trying to stop this... If is and will be you at fault none other...
