(Rockville, Maryland) A group of registered voters in Montgomery Co., Maryland has filed suit against the County Board of Elections alleging improprieties in the certification of a ballot measure to overturn a gender identity anti-discrimination law.
Last November the Montgomery County Council unanimously passed a law to ban discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression.
A socially conservative group collected signatures to have the measure overturned and earlier this month the Board of Elections certified the petitions, placing the issue on November’s ballot.
