A new lawsuit is set to be filed in Maryland seeking to block a redistricting amendment backed by Governor Wes Moore from appearing on the November ballot, citing that state officials advanced the measure before its official filing deadline, and that this advancement violates state law. The Oversight Project, which has been critical of the measure, believes it was unfairly accelerated by Democrats. The lawsuit seeks to invalidate the amendment, which aims to redraw Maryland's congressional districts based on party affiliation. If successful, the amendment would not appear on voters' ballots in November.
