The Maryland legislature will meet in a special session next month. Democratic lawmakers have put forward a constitutional amendment aimed at redistricting. This move is in response to recent Republican-driven gerrymandering in Southern states.
The session comes at a crucial time. Although the changes will not impact this fall’s midterm elections, they are a reaction to new Republican-leaning districts in the South. These districts arose partly from Black-majority areas after the Supreme Court altered the Voting Rights Act.
Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City) has been a central figure in the legislature. Various states are addressing redistricting, with Democrats seeking to counteract the shifting political landscapes influenced by recent court decisions.
