Maryland Votes on Redistricting Rules

Maryland Senate Democrats are racing against time to hold a summer special session and push a constitutional amendment that would remove the ban on congressional districts crossing the Chesapeake Bay—potentially reshaping how Maryland redraws its maps for decades.
