Maryland House Approves New Congressional Map Amid Ongoing Partisan Dispute

The Maryland House of Delegates voted to advance a new congressional map backed by Democrats, but state Senate leaders have expressed concerns that the change could lead to court challenges and partisan disputes. The revised map has drawn criticism from Republicans in the state Senate who warn it is unfair and does not fairly represent the population. The move now heads to the Senate for consideration before being sent to Governor Larry Hogan for signature or veto.
