Maryland Commission Approves New Map

[RandySF]

The Maryland Redistricting Advisory Commission appointed by Gov. Wes Moore has approved a proposed map that would give Democrats all eight of the state’s congressional seats, Punchbowl News reports.

The concept map will now be sent to the legislature for approval. State Senate President Bill Ferguson, who is on the commission, voted no and is opposed to redistricting.

1. Democracy.

We hate 50%+1 = 100% then we love it.

Hey 20% X group must mean gerrymander so that 20% of reps "look like" that group." To 'mander' to not gerrymander for race deprives people of power--and that's evil.

As soon as non-gerrymandering it threatens power, eff that sh*t. If it helps us, it's wonderful--and if not, it's an abuse of Our Democracy.

Gloves off, blinders gone. All that's left ... "district boundaries help us, oh, I love it!." Why-ever. Districting hurt us, down with fascism writ whatever, because if it's not for us it's for some hitler!"

I'm done with this topic.

3. You think we shouldn't play by the new rules that the other party set?

If you're playing basketball and the other team says its baskets are now worth ten points, you just keep playing and shooting your twos and threes, huh?

In case you haven't been paying attention, this is war. Get off your high horse.
