Maryland Dems Reignite Redistricting Push After Court Ruling
TL;DR Summary
Maryland Democrats are reviving a push to redraw congressional maps after a Supreme Court ruling weakened the Voting Rights Act, arguing action is needed to counter GOP redistricting elsewhere. Gov. Wes Moore has withheld an endorsement of Senate President Bill Ferguson, who blocked previous attempts, and with the June primary looming, a midterm redraw seems unlikely; many acknowledge a 2028 redraw is more plausible, though pressure on Ferguson continues and some are considering constitutional or ballot moves to unlock future redistricting amid legal concerns.
