It's not like Republicans wouldn't have drawn a gerrymander if they had control. Maryland's map isn't nearly as ridiculous as the maps of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The Maryland map was the worst of the whole cycle. PA/IL/OH/NC are next I'd say
Republicans wouldn't have drawn a gerrymandered map if we were in control, we don't need to. Maryland is naturally laid out to the benefit of Republicans.
Why, look what we have here. Two potential maps for Maryland that are NOT insane
It's actually pretty easy to draw a 5-3 Republican map in Maryland, [un?]interestingly enough.
That's not correct, a 5-3 Republican map in Md is not possible, but a 4-4 one is very possible, and this is so because Maryland is the most polarized state in the union
How did I know this was a krazen post?
'Moving right along to the next thread....
Looks like snotty Miles doesn't like citizen uprising against Democrats' outrageous Maryland congressional map. This is going to referendum. We turned in 10k more than needed. 10k will not be invalid
If most Maryland Republicans are like you in demeanor, its easy to see why they're such a minority in state politics.
Your dismissive remark at the petition drive reeked of snobbery. What can I say? The Democrats were giddy at the prospect of petitioning Ohio's map. I'm glad that the OH Repubs modified their map due to public pressures. I wish MD Dems had done the same
I personally hate that map simply because as a Southern Marylander I don't want my region broken up like that, I'm happy with it as it is.
