One of the Mid-Atlantic’s leading election integrity organizations continues the crusade for free and fair elections, accountability in electoral system
Rockville, MD – August 20, 2013 – Election Integrity Maryland (EIM), one of the Mid-Atlantic’s leading election integrity organizations, announces today that it has sent more than 1,463 new challenges to the Maryland State and Montgomery County Boards of Elections, which were set to be received on August 13, 2013.
These most recent challenges center on irregularities in voter roll records that EIM uncovered in its most recent round of proactive voter registrationinvestigations. The challenges are submitted to the Boards of Elections at the State and County levels to alert election officials to identified irregularities in the voter rolls. They also underscore EIM’s vigilant efforts to contribute constructively to upholding of free and fair elections consistent with the legal regulations requiring Boards of Elections to maintain the most up-to-date voter records possible.
EIM President, Cathy Kelleher said: “We are pleased to present this latest round of challenges to the Boards of Elections at the State and County levels as aligned with ensuring free and fair elections and accurate voter rolls required by Federal law.” She also stated “EIM will continue to vigorously pursue irregularities in voter rolls as a way of supporting the Boards of Elections in their ongoing efforts to maintain voter integrity.”
The latest round of irregularities follows a previous 1,400 challenges to Baltimore City’s voter rolls submitted by EIM in June. By making key election officials aware of these errors and irregularities, EIM aims to continue to take a leading role in securing the accountability and integrity of the electoral system across the state of Maryland.
