Doing what DOJ won't: MVP sues MD to protect military voters
The Military Voter Protection Project sues Maryland for failure to comply with military voting requirements. Once again, doing what the DOJ won't do. Baltimore Sun has more. In the lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, the anonymous guardsman identified as Officer John Doe says the state did not give overseas voters enough time to obtain and return ballots for statewide offices in the Nov. 2 elections, which include the contest for governor.
Joining as co-plaintiff is the Military Voter Protection Project, Eric Eversole, the Navy judge advocate general who heads the Washington-based organization, says the ballots for federal offices that the Maryland board sent a few days after this month's primary elections were not valid.

During early election, a Montgomery County MD Congressional candidate (Christine Thron) voted in one center. She then went to another. She told them she had already voted and asked if her name was still on the rolls. She was told yes it was and she could vote in that center too.
When I inquired about that I was told they could fix that by taking out all her votes. But I asked, how you can tell what her votes were when they were cast in secret. I was then told they could identify the votes by the voting card that was used and take them out. Great! That would solve the double vote problem, but that also means that all votes are in jeopardy, if the vote can be identified with the voter. I was then told “Only the COMPUTER knows how a person voted.” No one else can tamper with it!!! But how does the COMPUTER know a person voted twice. Then all I would have to do to negate a person’s vote is to go vote again under her name? And furthermore anything the computer knows a person can know too.
Also as a candidate myself, I have a list of all voters in the county, including their birth date, and address, the only information I need to know to vote for a person. I also know how frequently they vote. If I vote in my own precinct, there is a good chance someone would know me or the person I was trying to impersonate. That chance is eliminated in the voting centers scattered away from neighborhoods.
