Maryland: Backers of a proposed referendum in the state of Maryland, in 2009 have filed a brief over the invalidation of a significant number of signatures on the referendum. In 2009 the Howard County Board of Elections threw out roughly 87% of all signatures based on an interpretation of a Maryland Court of Appeals decision that led them to believe that signatures are invalid if they are not exact matches to signatures used for voter registration. The proponents filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court that failed in October of 2009.[1]
