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.

Maryland lawmakers will hold a special session in August to consider a constitutional amendment aimed at shaping future congressional redistricting. The proposal seeks to clarify the state constitution following a 2022 court ruling that invalidated a prior map, with Democrats hoping to solidify an 8-0 congressional delegation. Republicans criticized the move as an attempt to dilute GOP representation.
