A very interesting report in the Baltimore Sun about Motor Voter
problems in Maryland, a state which has often had (still has?)
problems with other sections of the NVRA (human services agencies).
Not that the design of the website makes the article appear to be only
a couple of paragraphs long (on my monitor) but if you scroll down it
goes on for several additional pages. Also note that to the left of
the article there are some links to much older articles on NVRA issues
in MD, including stories of officials just tossing registration forms
out (not clear if they were completed forms or incomplete, etc.). This
is from the old NRA NAACP Legal Defense Fund case in MD, it seems.

"Nearly 25 percent of MVA voter registrations fail: One in four
registrants doesn't make it to voter rolls"
