Democrats to Be Sued for Gerrymandering Amid Big ‘Voting Rights’ Push
Democrats in Maryland will be sued for approving gerrymandered legislative maps as the national party pushes for major electoral reform in the name of strengthening democracy.
Maryland legislators voted Thursday to approve new district maps for the state Senate and the House of Delegates which would strongly favor Democrats for the next decade. The House voted Thursday along partisan lines after the Senate approved the maps last week, and there is no action required by Republican Gov. Larry Hogan to approve or turn down the new districts. . .
The Maryland General Assembly approved new boundaries for its 188 seats, choosing a map supported by Democrats who control the legislature instead of a separate proposal backed by Republican @GovLarryHogan. https://t.co/ugthpym0qr

As soon as the maps were approved by lawmakers Thursday, Fair Maps Maryland — an organization that advocates for an end to partisan gerrymandering in the state — announced its plans to sue in the Maryland Court of Appeals to stop the implementation of the maps. The group is already involved in a lawsuit against Maryland’s newly approved congressional maps. (Read more from “Democrats to Be Sued for Gerrymandering Amid Big ‘Voting Rights’ Push” HERE)
