Efforts to redistrict #Maryland are gaining steam after the US Supreme Court decision legalizing gerrymandering in the deep south.
In the recent legislative session, despite warnings about the U.S. Supreme Court’s plans to gut Voting Rights Act safeguards in states with a history of suppressing voting power for Black citizens, the Maryland Senate would not consider House proposals for reforms to make congressional redistricting possible.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Alabama to use a congressional map that will benefit Republicans in this year’s midterm elections, permitting the state to ditch one of two House districts represented by a Black member of Congress who is also a Democrat.
Checks notes* why.

Republicans have an oversized representation in federal government as they attempt to sabotage the #census.
