Democrats put redistricting amendment on Maryland’s midterm ballot

Maryland's Democratic-controlled Legislature voted on Tuesday to include a constitutional amendment on the November midterm ballot. This specific measure aims to facilitate the elimination of the state's only Republican-held congressional district prior to the 2028 election. The move sets the stage for a significant redistricting battle in November, as Democrats seek to alter the current electoral map to remove the final Republican presence in Maryland's congressional representation through this proposed constitutional change.
