US House Redistricting: Maryland

[DrScholl]

Republicans are doing most of the redistricting this cycle and have already eliminated Democrats, it can't be expected that Democrats aren't going to take advantage where they can. It's not like Republicans in other states would not eliminate Democrats in fair maps happened in Dem controlled states.

[DrScholl]

I would also offer that Maryland Democrats earned their 7-1 map at the ballot box as well, that kind of argument can cut both ways. Maryland Democrats could have conceivably tried to go 8-0, but they didn't, which is a lot more generous than North Carolina or Ohio Republicans.

[DrScholl]

I think these issues will be worked out and 7-1 will be the final map. It's easy to fix the "issues" that some have with minority votes and still get 7-1, it's just a matter of modification.
