This fight isn’t over.
Even after the Montgomery County Board of Elections last week certified a petition to get a referendum question about the county’s new transgender rights law on the ballot in November, Maryland’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender civil rights group says the petition is bunk and will fight to get the question removed.
Citizens for a Responsible Government, the group that created the petition, says it turned in more than 32,000 signatures of which more than 26,000 were certified by the Board of Elections. This means the group has at least 1,000 more than the 25,001 required to put bill 23-07 up for a vote among county residents.
