Maryland voters will decide in November whether to clear the way for a new congressional map that would favor Democrats in all eight of the state’s U.S. House districts. If voters approve the constitutional amendment that lawmakers voted Tuesday to put on the ballot, a redrawn map could kick in for 2028. Democrats now hold seven of the House seats. Maryland is moving more slowly than the 10 states that have passed new district boundaries for this year’s elections. States usually make new maps only after new Census counts are released early each decade.
