A watchdog group is suing the Maryland state board of elections for hiding voter registration records.
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an Indiana-based election integrity group, filed a complaint Dec. 16 against several individuals with Maryland's state board of elections for alleged violations of the National Voter Registration Act's public disclosure provision. The group sought a copy of the statewide voter registration list on Nov. 13 and offered to pay the required fees for the records. Two days later, an individual with the board of elections denied PILF's request, stating that only Maryland residents can obtain voter data.
"Maryland stood to make at least $250 from selling their voter data like usual, but decided to flaunt a recent court decision against them and refused PILF's application," Logan Churchwell, communications director at PILF, told the Washington Free Beacon. "Now, they have to defend a second federal lawsuit and risk paying attorneys' fees. It doesn't pay to hide public records—and here, it's actually profitable to disclose them."
The lawsuit comes as PILF has found instances across the country of duplicate registrations, deceased individuals still registered to vote, and voter rolls that contain more individuals than there are eligible voters.

Md is run by Crookacrats.
Something else we as tax payers will have to subsidize. Obviously the elections board is hiding something.
We have ALL known they have been violating and corrupting the vote process here in MD, now FINALLY someone's going to prove it. The guilty should be punished on the level of terrorist.
Maryland is one of the most corrupt states in protecting Democratic polls. This includes jurisdictions and voter fraud. Annapolis is full of left wingers.
someone else in the state should file one and see if they deny them
Linda's empire about to fall?
Northwest Woodsman: I am never surprised when, during a close election, Pedomarxist democrats accidentally find a bag of votes with hundreds of votes that support their candidate and only one or two republican votes that are thrown in to make it look legitimate. It is fortunate for them that their average voter is unsophisticated, naive, politically ignorant and indoctrinated in liberal thought. Usually when added into the vote count, the totals are more than registered voters in the county. They always protest when voter fraud is alleged.
Maryland will not give up voter registration records that verify eligible voters but sell Marylanders confidential records from MVA without consent to scammers and telemarketers and whoever else. What a scam Maryland Politians are pulling on Maryland residents. Another thing against the do nothing Democrat HOGAN. Hogan cannot profess to be a conservative Republican. His record proves different.
