    Maryland Association of Election Officials Representing the Local Election Boards of the State of Maryland MEMORANDUM To: Michael Cogan, Chairman, Maryland State Board of Elections Linda Lamone, Esq., Administrator, Maryland State Board of Elections From: David Garreis, President Maryland Association of Election Officials (MAEO) Date: August 5, 2020 Re: Plan for Success - 2020 Presidential General Election The members of the Maryland Association of Election Officials (MAEO) are writing to provide our plan for the successful conduct of the 2020 Presidential General Election. The State of Maryland is at a critical juncture in the Election process. There are slightly more than 90-days until Election Day. The Election Community must have a set-in-stone plan for the conduct of the General Election. Failure to do so will result in the failure of the Election process in Maryland. MAEO has provided the Maryland State Board of Elections (SBE) and the Governor with our professional, non-partisan recommendations for conducting the General Election in writing and in conference call meetings several times. MAEO is dedicated to providing all eligible voters with the ability to cast their ballot in a safe and secure manner. We are making our final appeal to your decision making authority before we enter a period where no amount of backpedaling or last minute changes will avoid a catastrophic failure of the 2020 Presidential General Election. We are providing four common-sense recommendations for the conduct of the Election in the hopes that the powers that be will find a way to adopt these policies and provide the voters of Maryland with a convenient and hassle-free opportunity to vote, either by mail-in ballot, during early voting, or on Election Day.
