A Maryland court has blocked a Democratic-backed constitutional amendment aimed at letting lawmakers redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2028 elections, ruling that key deadlines were missed — though the decision is on hold pending appeal. The amendment sought to exempt congressional maps from compactness rules, allowing Democrats to redraw a Republican-held district even across major geographic features like the Chesapeake Bay. The judge rejected arguments that the amendment’s wording was too vague or that procedural deadlines didn’t apply — siding with conservative groups and Republicans who sued. This setback follows similar defeats in Virginia and reflects a broader national trend as both parties race to reshape electoral maps mid-decade to gain leverage in Congress.
