ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 22 (DC Times Online) — Maryland election officials removed Ian Andre Roberts from the state voter rolls on June 2, and The Washington Times reported that the process took more than two years, prompting fresh criticism from Republican Delegate Matt Morgan.

Morgan, who chairs the Maryland House Freedom Caucus, said the case shows why “Marylanders have lost faith in our elections.”

The Washington Times reported that Roberts had been on Maryland’s voter rolls for more than a decade and had been registered twice. The paper said voter-registration forms show he checked the citizenship box and signed under penalty of perjury both times.

Fox News reported that the Maryland Freedom Caucus publicized Roberts’ registration status and pressed state officials for answers. The reporting said the case has become part of a broader fight over how Maryland maintains its voter rolls and how quickly officials act when questions arise.
