Maryland voters on Tuesday approved ballot Question 3, which amends the state constitution to change how congressional districts are drawn.
The measure was developed to counter Republican redistricting efforts in other states that have been supported by President Donald Trump.
Gov. Wes Moore championed the question. He said Trump does not get to rewrite the rules for his allies and then tell Maryland to sit on its hands. Moore said he is proud that Marylanders used their power to push back by approving Question 3.
Protect Maryland Votes issued a statement after the vote. Senior Advisor Doug Mayer called the result disappointing and said it is the predictable outcome when the dominant political party does everything in its power, at every step, “to deceive Maryland voters.”
Mayer said the General Assembly passed a deliberately confusing ballot amendment while violating its own laws.
