Civilians At Detrick Lose On Vote Appeal
Civilian residents of a federal reservation near Frederick Maryland lost their bid for voting rights in the Court of Appeals The court found the Frederick County Circuit Court acted properly in not ruling on the number of questions asked The 200 families of Camp Detrick argued taxation without representation and sought clarification of taxable status and potential rights such as inheritance taxes probate of wills and care in state institutions The court ruled it cannot decide future rights without an actual controversy and noted the case involves legislative and executive branches not just judicial action The matter prompted a General Assembly resolution urging Congress to permit federal land residents to vote in Maryland and a bill to grant voting rights contingent on congressional action was referred for study The Detachment center northwest of Frederick was taken under exclusive federal jurisdiction in 1950 The Los Alamos case cited shows Congress can restore voting rights on appeal
