Protect Maryland Votes

GET THE FACTS

This is about right and wrong.

This is not a complicated issue. It’s a fairly simple one. This is about right and wrong. Changing over 50 years of constitutional history is wrong, and every true Marylander knows this.

This is about Maryland and only Maryland.

For over half a century, Maryland’s Constitution has contained language to protect fair representation, and now they want to change that for partisan power.

This is not about fairness - Maryland already has the most one-sided delegation in a generation.

Seven Democrats, one Republican. This amendment exists to make it eight and zero.

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.

This was never about a new map.

It’s a rewrite of Maryland’s Constitution, built to erase the exact language that struck down the state’s last gerrymandered electoral boundaries in court.

The current process being put forward is a total sham.

Governor Larry Hogan’s non-partisan redistricting commission held over 35 public meetings and heard from thousands of Marylanders. The politicians in Annapolis pushing forward with this constitutional amendment will hear from 50 people in one afternoon. That’s not fair. That’s not transparency.

This isn't a one-party tool; it's a blank check for whoever's in charge.

This amendment wouldn’t just let Democrats redraw the map today. It would let any party, including Republicans, gerrymander this state the same way tomorrow.
