Party control over redistricting

There's a good chance that the remaining Deep South Democratic legislatures will fall pretty soon.

Knowing the state of Maryland, I'd have to say that the Maryland map is THE WORST gerrymander from 2001.

Its pretty vile (especially around Baltimore) but I'm not quite sure if its the worst gerrymander of that dreadful round of redistricting. But I suppose that depends on how you define worst... aethestically its up there, but in terms of political effect... well, no.

Plenty of areas downstate are more than capable of electing Democrats.

Actually I think they mostly do it for very different reasons (to give Worcester its own district and so on and so forth). A perfectly fair map of Massachusetts would not have elected a Republican since, say, the late 90s.
