Baltimore Beat OP-ED: LEADERS MUST PASS THE BALLOT PETITION MODERNIZATION ACT

As part of the ongoing advocacy for the Ballot Petition Modernization Act. Andy published an op-ed in the Baltimore Beat.

The Ballot Petition Modernization Act levels the playing field for grassroots and community-based groups trying to compete against Smith, Sinclair, and other well-funded interests, by making it easier for the voices of voters to be heard. The people and groups hurt by the current standards and any future efforts to make it harder to get on the ballot are grassroots and community-led organizations. Often these groups use volunteers to collect their signatures and do not have the money to hire big law firms to watch the local board of elections and advocate for them in court.
