Maryland license¹ plate unknowingly promotes gambling²

The plate commemorates⁴ the War of 1812 — featuring a website that belonged to a nonprofit that raised money for bicentennial projects. The address now belongs to a gambling site in the Philippines.

A MART?NEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez. If you drive a car with Maryland plates, there's a chance you're unknowingly promoting gambling. That's because if your car has a license plate that commemorates the War of 1812, it features a website that used to belong to a nonprofit that raised money for bicentennial projects. Now the web address belongs to a gambling site in the Philippines. The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration says it's not affiliated⁵ with the site and it's trying to resolve the issue. It's MORNING EDITION.
