Members of the Maryland Citizens Redistricting Commission will review maps that are received by noon on Sept. 24, according to the planning department. More submissions will be accepted when that panel begins its third round of hearings in October.
The map submission portal uses redistricting data which counts incarcerated Marylanders as residents of their last known address, as required by Maryland law, according to the release.
The nine-member commission — which includes three Democrats, three Republicans and three unaffiliated voters — is set to start a new round of public hearings on Sept. 9. That hearing will be virtual.
The commission worked with Stanford Law School professor Nathaniel Persily to hash out some rough criteria for maps on Wednesday. Although the commission won’t make its redistricting proposal for some time and will consider citizens’ proposals, members said they hope to have some early drafts ready for public comment by next week…
Gov. Lawrence J. Hogan Jr. (R) created the Maryland Citizens Redistricting Commission via executive order to draw congressional and legislative maps that he will propose to the General Assembly. Democrats hold a veto-proof majority in both the House of Delegates and the Senate, and lawmakers will have the final say over the state’s next set of maps.
Senate President Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City) and House Speaker Adrienne A. Jones (D-Baltimore County) created their own bipartisan redistricting commission, the Legislative Redistricting Advisory Commission, to draw congressional and legislative maps. The legislative commission held its first meeting this week and is set to kick off a statewide round of public hearings on Sept. 20 with a hearing focused on Prince George’s County.”
How about shoving all the marxist democrat districts off the map?? Make the state red. Problem solved!!
But i dont care since i will be gone from the United socialist republic of maryland by the next election..im planning to vote with my feet. Taxation without representation is kinda a one way street in this state with libtarded traitors like libturd larry in charge.
Democrats trying to CHEAT AGAIN !!!!!
Redistrict by starting at bay bridge, this side is no longer Maryland, period.
Start with the eastern shore and go north to Hartford County then go west. Start with Garreet County and go east along the PA border. Start in St.Marys,Calvert and Charles and go north. Do what you want with that mess in the middle.
WHY worry about the redistricting? The Democrats will rig this process with HOGAN, HITLER OF MD, will not fight them for equality and allow them to tack over more Republican districts to accommodate the Democrat COMMUNIST / FACIST rule of MD.
