Maryland lawmakers are rushing into a special session to overhaul congressional redistricting, aiming to give Democrats exclusive power to draw maps that could win an extra House seat in 2028 — but only if voters approve. This bold move, fueled by national GOP gerrymandering tactics and a weakened Voting Rights Act, seeks to clarify that natural boundaries apply only to state districts, not Congress. While Republicans warn it’s a dangerous power grab that risks disenfranchising rural voters, Governor Wes Moore insists it’s a necessary response to partisan mapmaking across the country — including in Southern states — and says voters will have the final say in November.
