| Judge Halts Another Democrat Scheme To Rig State Congressional Maps |
| 2026-08-28 |
| [Federalist] Democrats have done a lot of weaselly things in the pursuit of power, but their ploy to grab a congressional seat by a quick and crooked change to Maryland’s constitution is a real doozy. A Maryland judge this week saw through the legally tortured redistricting scheme and put the kibosh on the hastily made ballot question. Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Robert J. Thompson on Wednesday enjoined the Maryland State Board of Elections from putting an amendment question on the Nov. 3 ballot that the legislature unlawfully conceived. "Because the legislature did not follow the very laws it enacted, the court finds the enactment of HB2100 to be legally deficient," Thompson wrote in his pointed opinion. The Board of Elections immediately appealed the decision to the Maryland Supreme Court. SHRUGGING OFF THE LAW The rushed plan effectively seeks to wipe out the Old Line State’s sole Republican-held congressional district, just as Democrats tried and failed to do in Virginia earlier this year.
