Maryland Dems kick off latest redistricting effort after a year of infighting

Maryland Democrats initiated a special session to address redistricting after a state court blocked a 2022 map. The effort aims to create a constitutional amendment to clarify redistricting rules for congressional districts, which would require voter approval by November 2024. The amendment could enable gerrymandering to target Rep. Andy Harris, the state's only Republican congressman, though any new map would not take effect until 2028.
