ANNAPOLIS, MD – July 9th, 2024 Maryland Election Integrity LLC and United Sovereign Americans, represented by Ed Hartman of Hartman, Attorneys at Law and Bruce Castor Jr of van der Veen, Hartshorn, Levin, & Lindheim, filed an Appeal in response to the lower court’s refusal to hear the case based on standing.
The Appellants maintain the findings by the district court were made without a hearing and are therefore premature. Appellants maintain their case is worthy of appeal.
The Supreme Court has ruled that Appellants must prove their injury is “fairly traceable” to the action or inaction of the Appellee. Lujan, 504 U.S., at 560.
Pertaining to the voter registration records and error rates, the inaction of State Board of Elections (SBOE) to keep the voter registration records up to date and accurate are a cause of injury to all Maryland Citizens. The actions of the SBOE to conceal or otherwise not provide public records especially concerning the configuration of voting machines is another source of injury. The actions of the SBOE in configuring voting machines to accept blank ballots is fairly traceable to the high number of blank ballots seen in Maryland.
The SBOE is the entity responsible for administering elections in Maryland. SBOE is responsible for administering federal elections in accordance with state and federal. SBOE failed to do so (in the light most favorable to Appellants) making traceability back to SBOE as the obvious cause. These well-pled facts confer standing upon Maryland Election Integrity, LLC and United Sovereign Americans.
Maryland Election Integrity and its members have a clear mission to guard the sanctity of Maryland’s federal elections. The mission is being impeded by the various violations of federal and state law outlined above compounded by the lack of transparency in regard to public information requests. The district court erred in finding otherwise therefore we look forward to justice being served in the in the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit.
