Doe v. Walker (Roger W. Titus, D. Md. 8:10-cv-2646)
A federal complaint filed forty days before the 2010 general election alleged that absentee ballots had not been sent to overseas voters in time. It turned out that ballots listing only federal offices had already been sent out. The district judge extended the deadline for the state to receive ballots for state offices by ten days to preserve overseas voters’ fundamental rights to vote.
