Maryland – Suit filed against Baltimore, state elections boards

A federal complaint has been filed by a group of Baltimore activists against the city and state elections boards over the most recent election. The group alleges that voting irregularities tainted the outcome of the election. The suit, filed by Voters Organized for the Integrity of City Elections, is against both the city and state election directors in Baltimore and Maryland. Some of the allegations brought forth by the group are that polling places open late, machinery was malfunctioning and a “staggering number of irregularities” affected “any sense of confidence in the election results.” They also allege that one campaign bribed voters with food and money for votes, in favor of one particular candidate. The federal complaint filed by the group seeks to have the results of the election nullified.
