Despite clouds, a bit of sun

There’s more in the way of clouds
than recent days. Still a good deal of
sun, especially early. A cold front is
approaching, but we’ll probably stay
dry through the day. Highs aim for
the upper 60s to near 70. Winds are out of the
south around 10 mph, with gusts near 20 mph.

BY OVETTA WIGGINS

AND ERIN COX

Maryland’s redistricting com-

mission drafted a new map with

the potential to oust the state’s

lone Republican member of Con-

gress, one of four proposed redis-

tricting plans that shuffle some

voters ahead of the 202 2 midterm

elections.

The four options, released late

Tuesday by the Maryland Legisla-

tive Redistricting Advisory Com-

mission, redraw the state’s eight

sprawling and tentacled congres-

sional districts, which favor Dem-

ocrats and have been labeled

among the nation’s most gerry-

mandered.

Karl S. Aro, the chairman of the

seven-member commission com-

posed of top legislative leaders,

said the proposed maps are a

“starting point” and the result of

testimony during the commis-

sion’s nine public hearings.

“The message has been consis-

tent — Marylanders think their

representation can be improved

with more compact and easily fol-

lowed districts,” Aro said in a

statement.

With Democrats clinging to

slim majorities in Congress, pow-

er brokers across the country are

watching how states, including

Maryland, recast their maps and

whether those revisions will tip

the scales in Washington.

Although one of the four op-

tions released Tuesday would

make it more difficult for Rep.

Andy Harris (R-Md.) to win reelec-

tion, three others redraw t he e xist-

ing boundaries in w ays that m ight

not yield an additional Democrat-

ic seat for the reliably blue state.

Two options would make some

districts held by Democrats more

competitive for Republicans. Sev-

eral hew to the current map,

whose political gerrymandering a

decade ago triggered a legal chal-

lenge that ultimately reached the

U.S. Supreme Court in 2019.

The commission, empowered

by the state’s General Assembly

leaders to draft options, released

the maps for public comment in

advance of the legislature’s Dec. 6

special session to pick a plan.

Aro s aid that “to the extent prac-

ticable,” the commission tried to

keep Maryland residents in their

existing districts. He said “no map

is perfect” and asked the public to

weigh in on the options proposed.

A spokesman for Harris did not

immediately respond to a request

for comment.

Joanne Antoine, the executive

director of Common Cause Mary-

land, a nonpartisan group that

advocates for fairer maps, said

Common Cause had been anxious-

ly awaiting the release of the com-

mission’s p roposed maps. She said

she was pleased to see that the

commission released a variety of

proposals.

“We’re happy. ... We thought it

might be just one map,” she said.

“Giving the public and advocates

different options to weigh in on is

helpful.”

She said advocacy groups will

offer feedback in the remaining

three public hearings that the com-

mission has scheduled over the

next week, including a statewide

virtual hearing Monday evening.

Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has of-

fered a competing proposal and

lambasted the Democratic su-

permajorities in the legislature as

conjuring up proposals behind

closed d oors. The independent cit-

izen redistricting c ommission Ho-

gan convened presented him with

its own plan for how the congres-

sional and legislative districts

should be drawn.

On Friday, Hogan called on the

Democratic-controlled legislature

to use t he citizen-drawn maps a nd

not its own. “For decades now,

Maryland’s political power bro-

kers have conducted the state’s

redistricting process in secret be-

hind closed doors, which is why

we want to make sure that the

people of Maryland are actually

the ones drawing the lines — not

the politicians or party bosses,”

Hogan tweeted Monday.

Maryland is not among the

states that have d irected mapmak-

ers to draw compact districts or

avoid favoring a political party.

The General Assembly has the fi-

nal say on which plan takes effect.

T he redistricting that followed

the 2 010 Census roiled some advo-

cates, who complained that the

misshapen districts were drafted

to target one of the state’s two

Republican congressmen. The

gerrymandering by Maryland’s

Democrats occurred as Republi-

cans in other states, notably Wis-

consin, similarly r edrew boundar-

ies to benefit their party.

Since then, some Maryland

state lawmakers f rom both parties

have sought to strip the l egislature

of the exclusive power to draw the

electoral maps.

Across the nation, advocacy

groups affiliated with Democrats

have filed lawsuits in Wisconsin,

Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Min-

nesota seeking to weigh in on the

map-drawing process and blunt

what they see as efforts to favor

Republicans. Advocacy groups

aligned with Republicans have

similarly moved t o challenge maps

that they s ay u nfairly favor the left.

Last week, Hogan said he was

hopeful that the Maryland Gener-

al Assembly would pass “fairer”

boundary lines, but he also pre-

dicted that if Democrats decided

to “blatantly gerrymander” again,

the maps could result in another

legal challenge.

State Senate Minority Whip

Justin D. Ready (R-Carroll) on

Tuesday blasted Democrats for

even considering a map that could

edge out Republicans.

“A n 8-0 map would be a com-

plete outrage and unjustifiable by

any objective measure,” Ready

tweeted. “[Seven to one] is really

unjustifiable when you look at the

(yes, blue, but not 7-1 statewide)

makeup of Maryland.”
