Constitutional Amendment on Redistricting

Maryland Republicans plan to challenge a constitutional amendment (House Bill 2100) aimed at overriding a 2022 court ruling affecting congressional redistricting, arguing the bill was rushed and bypasses procedural laws. The amendment requires final approval by state officials to appear on the November ballot, with Governor Wes Moore supporting the measure despite Republican opposition.

The Virginia Supreme Court is reviewing a Republican challenge to a congressional redistricting plan approved by voters, which could shift the U.S. House delegate count from 6-5 to 10-1 in favor of Democrats. Republicans argue the Democratic-led General Assembly violated procedural rules by fast-tracking a constitutional amendment for mid-decade redistricting, while Democrats claim the process was lawful and ratified by voters.
