to protect Marylanders’ Voices from Partisan Gerrymandering
What’s Happening and Why Is This Important?
Politicians in Annapolis want to create the most extreme gerrymandered federal Congressional districts in the nation, but in order to do so, they have to change the Constitution. For over 50 years, language has existed in the Maryland state constitution that calls for fair and compact districts, which is preventing politicians in Annapolis from getting their way and consolidating all power.
This is not about the nation. This is not about any other state. This is about Maryland and what kind of state we want to hand to our children. Changing a half century’s worth of constitutional precedent to amass partisan power and disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Marylanders is wrong, and every true Marylander knows this.
If you love this state and call yourself a Marylander, you owe it to Maryland to know the facts.
A Few Facts Annapolis Politicians Don't Want You to Know
A judge already called this what it is.
A Maryland court ruled the legislature’s last congressional map an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. Annapolis isn’t appealing that ruling; they’re rewriting the Constitution so it can never happen to them again.
Maryland already built the fair way to do this, and they threw it out.
Governor Hogan spent eight years on an independent commission split evenly between both parties, specifically so politicians couldn’t draw their own electoral boundaries. The legislature looked at it and did the opposite.
You get one vote while one party gets a permanent advantage.
Marylanders vote on the amendment once, this November. The electoral boundaries drawn afterward never come back to voters at all.
