At a time when federal voting rights protections are being weakened, Maryland is taking action.

The Voting Rights Act of 2026 (SB 255) gives my Office new authority to challenge election practices that dilute voting power in local elections.

Every Marylander deserves a vote that counts equally.

Maryland lawmakers made history tonight …

[Janai Nelson @JNelsonLDF]

How it started … how it’s going!

Maryland did it! The legislature passed the Maryland Voting Rights Act, making history and protecting democracy on bill at a time.

Congratulations to all the advocates to helped push it through—especially LDF’s MD Team!

[Common Cause Maryland @CommonCauseMD]

Across the state, more than 16,000 Marylanders are banned from voting while they are incarcerated for a felony conviction. It’s time we abolish felony disenfranchisement. Tell you lawmakers, it’s time to pass the Voting Rights for All Act. https://t.co/xbIoJTiz7Z

The @MDDCPress association sends letter to @GovWesMoore expresing "serious concerns about freedom of the press" in maryland related to changes in a policy that effectively nullifies credentials held by state house reporters

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

A sweeping and powerful opinion by United States District Judge Thomas Cullen dismissing Trump’s absurd lawsuit against the entire United States District Court in Maryland. Before MAGA starts whining again about “rogue left-wing judges,” they should look up who nominated Judge Cullen to the bench.

[Jared DeMarinis @JaredDeMarinis]

Today, I requested the DOJ explain their intentions with the voter registration list. Absent particularized & detailed concerns, a demand for the entire voter list, incl. sensitive PII that is not publicly available, w/o evidence or support, is an overreach & unreasonable
