Maryland's Redistricting Race Heats Up

State Senator Arthur Ellis is rallying for a special legislative session in Maryland to tackle congressional redistricting before the June 23 primary, warning that delaying action could put Democrats at a disadvantage compared to Republican-led states already redrawing maps. While Senate President Bill Ferguson hints at reconsidering the issue, Ellis argues it’s too late to act after the primary and questions Maryland’s passive stance on what he calls a critical fight. Republicans push back, accusing Democrats of making the map more partisan and urging lawmakers to focus instead on pressing issues like taxes and the cost of living, while highlighting concerns over fairness for Republican and independent voters — especially in Maryland’s lone GOP-held district on the Eastern Shore.
