SUN: RNC, Maryland GOP sue state alleging some counties have too many registered voters
The Republican National Committee and the Maryland GOP filed a lawsuit Friday against state election officials, alleging “impossibly high” voter registration numbers, days after the Department of Justice filed a similar suit.
The lawsuit claims Howard County and Montgomery County reported more registered voters than citizens over 18. Ten additional counties reported voter registration rates higher than 95%, a mark above the statewide rate, the suit alleges.
The complaint names Jared DeMarinis, the state administrator of elections; four members of the State Board of Elections; and election officials in Howard and Montgomery counties.
Maryland election officials did not respond to requests for comment.
