Maryland Voters Decide Redistricting | Washington DC News

Maryland lawmakers just passed a bold new bill that could rewrite how congressional districts are drawn — and it’s headed to voters this fall. After a heated back-and-forth, the Senate gave final approval to House Bill 2100, which aims to overturn a recent court ruling seen by some as a roadblock to redistricting. Republicans warn it could cost them their lone House seat and are already eyeing the courts to delay it — with a ballot deadline looming. Governor Wes Moore backs the move, calling it a fight against “political redlining” and a way to return mapmaking power to the people. Critics question whether the bill dodges constitutional amendment rules, but supporters say it simply restores long-standing federal and constitutional guidance. If approved in November, Maryland could redraw its eight districts as early as next January — potentially reshaping its political future and aligning with national trends.
