Washington – A conservative group opposed to a new Montgomery County law that prohibits discrimination against transgender people used Election Day to collect signatures from voters in the hopes of overturning the measure.
The group Citizens for a Responsible Government has argued that the new law, which passed the County Council in November and was approved by County Executive Ike Leggett, puts women and children at greater risk of assault in places like public restrooms where they should have the expectation of privacy.
