Moore Pivots Campaign Strategy to Push Unpopular Redistricting Amendment

Maryland Governor Wes Moore is redirecting approximately $750,000 in reelection ad spending to promote a controversial redistricting amendment, known as Question 3. The move aims to counter President Donald Trump's national push for gerrymandering by allowing state Democrats to draw congressional maps in 2028. Despite recent polling showing the measure lacks public support, Moore's campaign is framing it as a necessary defense against federal overreach, with new ads featuring prominent state Democrats airing in the D.C. media market.

Maryland Supreme Court approves redistricting ballot question with revised language

The Maryland Supreme Court ruled that a Democratic-backed constitutional amendment on congressional redistricting will appear on the November ballot, but ordered the state to replace the original ballot language with a clearer version. The amendment, known as Question 3, would limit strict compactness and geographic standards to state legislative maps rather than congressional districts, potentially allowing Democrats to redraw maps to target the state’s only Republican congressional seat in 2028. While the court rejected lower-court rulings that the measure violated deadlines or single-subject rules, it found the initial wording misleading. The decision revives a contentious battle over mid-decade redistricting, with Democrats celebrating a victory for voter choice and Republicans arguing the court overstepped by rewriting the question instead of removing it.
