Maryland Signs 2028 Redistricting Amendment, Opening Path to 8-0 House Map

Summary
Gov. Wes Moore on Wednesday signed a proposed state constitutional amendment that would let Maryland redraw its congressional districts before the 2028 elections.
The measure, passed in a special session by the General Assembly’s Democratic supermajority, now goes to voters for approval.
Maryland’s current congressional map already favors Democrats 7-1; if voters back the amendment, Democrats could try to eliminate the state’s lone Republican-held seat and create an 8-0 delegation.
The move places Maryland in the broader mid-decade redistricting push, with the next step hinging on a statewide referendum.
