The Maryland legislature will hold a special session next month focused on redistricting. This decision comes after Democratic lawmakers introduced a constitutional amendment on redistricting.
Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson from Baltimore City emphasized the importance of this session in response to recent gerrymandering efforts in the South. These efforts have impacted the electoral map, particularly affecting districts with significant Black populations following recent Supreme Court decisions that modified the Voting Rights Act.
This special session will occur amidst nationwide concerns over redistricting practices. While it will not impact this fall’s midterms, it highlights ongoing political battles over electoral district boundaries.
