Maryland Lawmakers Call For Special Session On Redistricting
Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson is considering a potential amendment to the state constitution through a referendum. This move could allow for redistricting after the upcoming midterm elections. Democrats have spent months weighing whether to redistrict the state's one remaining Republican congressional seat to turn all districts blue. Ferguson's office stated his risk calculation regarding the effort has not changed. The Attorney General's office has not yet addressed the matter. Maryland's House of Delegates Speaker Jocelyn Pena-Melnik supports redistricting congressional districts, but Senate President Bill Ferguson has not. Political figures are currently noncommittal, stating they need to review their options within the state. State Senator Arthur Ellis has called for a special legislative session to address congressional redistricting.
