Some Maryland residents have expressed concern about getting letters recently that show their neighbors' voting records and their own voting history.

A lawyer representing a voter participation nonprofit said that a cease-and-desist letter from the Maryland Attorney General was “troubling,” defending its mailers showing the recipients’ voting history as a constitutionally protected get-out-the-vote effort.

Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown ordered a D.C. organization to stop sending threatening letters to Maryland voters who may choose to not vote in this year's election.
