Maryland Voters Decide Redistricting Future | Charlotte News

Maryland voters will decide this November on a sweeping redistricting amendment that could reshape congressional power—Democrats see it as a path to a 2028 sweep, while Republicans fear it could erase their lone House seat. After the state Supreme Court overruled lower courts, the amendment now heads to the ballot despite legal hurdles over wording and deadlines. It would exempt congressional maps from strict compactness rules, potentially allowing districts that cross the Chesapeake Bay—and even Governor Wes Moore called a special session to push it through. This high-stakes battle, happening outside the normal cycle, mirrors national fights like those in Virginia, where district lines are weaponized for political control.
