Maryland Governor Wes Moore released a video statement on Saturday, announcing that a ballot initiative to erase the state’s single Republican district was approved by the Maryland Supreme Court and vowing to use the ruling to disenfranchise state Republicans.
Per Politico:
The Maryland Supreme Court on Thursday gave Democrats a victory in the state’s protracted redistricting battle, allowing the Legislature’s proposed amendment on redistricting that party leaders want to clear the way for a 2028 gerrymander to appear before voters in November.
If approved by voters on Election Day, the measure known as Question 3 will prevent future Democratic redraws from being subjected to strict compactness and geographic standards that undid their last attempt at an 8-0 map in 2022.
Considering that the judicial-mandated text was not approved by the legislature, the redults should be thrown out regardlesd of the outcome!
Tax No Moore is running scared.
Maryland Republicans sued to block the Democrats’ redistricting ballot question—not the proposed congressional map itself at this stage.
The lawsuit was filed in Anne Arundel County Circuit Court in August 2026 by members of the Maryland Freedom Caucus, Republican legislative leaders, and a conservative advocacy group. They argue that the General Assembly improperly put the constitutional redistricting amendment on the November ballot and failed to follow required legal deadlines. If approved, the amendment could allow Democrats to redraw Maryland’s congressional map before 2028, potentially threatening Rep. Andy Harris’s Republican district.
A judge subsequently blocked the question from appearing on the ballot while the case proceeds through appeal. Democrats have criticized the lawsuit as an attempt to prevent voters from deciding the issue
They’ll no doubt figure a tricky way to describe Question 3 on the ballot to confuse voters.
