Maryland Voters Oppose Redistricting Amendment Aimed at 1 Republican House Seat

Summary
A new UMBC poll found most Maryland voters plan to reject a November constitutional amendment that would loosen rules for drawing congressional districts.
The proposal, backed by Gov. Wes Moore and other Democratic leaders, would let the Democratic supermajority in Annapolis redraw House lines more easily.
That effort is aimed at unseating Maryland’s lone Republican member of Congress and offsetting GOP-led redistricting moves in other states before the 2026 midterms.
The result suggests Maryland voters are resisting a state-level escalation of the national redistricting fight even as both parties seek map advantages.
