Maryland Democrats Advance Redistricting Amendment to Gain House Seat by 2028
Maryland's Democratic-controlled Legislature is advancing a constitutional amendment to enable a partisan redistricting process, potentially allowing Democrats to gain an additional U.S. House seat by 2028. The proposed amendment, which requires voter approval, aims to give Democrats more control over congressional map drawing. This move is part of a broader national redistricting battle, with Democrats seeking to counter Republican-led redistricting efforts in other states. The amendment would allow Maryland to redraw district lines favoring Democrats, potentially impacting the state's lone Republican representative, Andy Harris.
