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.”
“This case is greater than a denied open records request,” Churchwell continued. “This is a statement to election officials around the nation that you cannot expect to get away with denying a critical voting right—the right to inspect our election records.” MORE
And the behind the scenes BS goes on with little to no actual punishments. It will continue until a few heads roll and wallets stung.

Why would they want to keep these records hidden when the law makes them public information?
Gosh, it’s almost like Maryland has something to hide.
Would it be easier and quicker for PILF to work with a sympathetic attorney who lives in Maryland, and make the request through him?
The Dems own Maryland and have become so used to
committing whatever crime they please they cannot understand why any “law” they did not write for
themselves should have any authority.
Even the so called Republican governor is a blue
democrat that has been thinly spray painted red.
