BALTIMORE, MD – ​​Attorney General Anthony G. Brown issued the below statement today after the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed a lawsuit challenging Maryland's voting system and voter registration system, ruling in favor of the Maryland Board of Elections. 

“This decision is a victory for all Maryland voters. I am proud of our Office’s role in ensuring that special interest groups cannot use arguments based on misinformation to disenfranchise Marylanders, and I am grateful that the Fourth Circuit has safeguarded our courtrooms against attempts to unjustifiably hinder free and fair elections, the cornerstone of our democracy.”
