由马里兰州民主党州长韦斯·摩尔召集的委员会周二建议了一份新的国会选区地图,该地图针对该州在美国众议院中唯一的共和党人。
不过,这份需要州立法机构批准的提案,在马里兰州民主党控制的州参议院中仍面临阻力。
委员会支持的地图将目标对准了连任八届的共和党众议员安迪·哈里斯,通过将新的民主党区域——包括马里兰州首府安纳波利斯和华盛顿特区北部郊区的部分地区——加入哈里斯目前位于该州东海岸的选区。
摩尔被认为是2028年白宫潜在候选人,正在推动马里兰州加入民主党旨在对抗去年唐纳德·特朗普总统发起的中期重新划分选区斗争的努力。

就在上周,邻近弗吉尼亚州的民主党议员为一项宪法修正案公投铺平了道路,该修正案可能使他们的政党在众议院中额外获得多达四个席位。
马里兰州民主党人数量远远超过共和党人,目前控制着州议会两院以及该州八个众议院席位中的七个。

“在其他州正在积极重新绘制选区地图,以及基本的投票权保护面临新威胁的时刻,马里兰州有责任以紧迫感引领潮流,”摩尔重新划分选区委员会主席、民主党参议员安吉拉·阿尔索布鲁克斯在一份声明中表示。“我们的目标是确保我们的国会代表团反映人民的意愿,保护历史上代表性不足社区的利益,并让马里兰州人拥有一个能够真正制衡现任总统的国会。”
该计划于周二闭门会议上由委员会投票通过,但仍面临关键民主党人——马里兰州参议院议长比尔·弗格森的强烈反对。
曾在委员会任职的弗格森辩称,法院可能会以违宪为由推翻消除共和党人代表权的地图,民主党最终可能会失去席位。周二他在一份声明中表示,委员会在权衡新的国会选区时未能听取关键利益相关者的意见,包括选举官员。
“最终,一个有缺陷的过程产生了一份有缺陷的产品,”他说。

Wes Moore targets Maryland’s only GOP congressman with redistricting, but a powerful Democrat stands in his way

A commission convened by Maryland’s Democratic Gov. Wes Moore recommended a new congressional map Tuesday that targets the state’s lone Republican in the US House.
The proposal, which needs state legislative approval, still faces headwinds in Maryland’s Democratic-controlled state Senate, however.
The commission-backed map takes aim at eight-term Republican Rep. Andy Harris, by adding new Democratic territory – including Maryland’s capital city, Annapolis, and parts of the northern suburbs of Washington, DC – to Harris’ current district in the state’s Eastern Shore.
Moore, considered a potential 2028 White House contender, is pushing Maryland to join Democratic efforts aimed at countering the mid-decade redistricting fight launched last year by President Donald Trump.

Just last week, Democratic lawmakers in neighboring Virginia paved the way for a referendum on a constitutional amendment that could yield their party as many as four additional seats in the House.
Democrats in Maryland outnumber Republicans by a wide margin and currently control both chambers of the state legislature and seven of the state’s eight US House seats.

“At a moment when other states are moving aggressively to redraw maps, and when fundamental voting rights protections face renewed threats, Maryland has a responsibility to lead with urgency,” Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, a Democrat who chaired Moore’s redistricting commission, said in a statement. “Our goal is to ensure our congressional delegation reflects the will of the people, protects representation for historically underrepresented communities, and gives Marylanders a Congress that can serve as a real check on this President.”
The plan, which the commission voted on during a closed-door meeting Tuesday, still faces fierce opposition from a key Democrat, Maryland state Senate President Bill Ferguson.
Ferguson, who served on the commission, has argued that courts could toss out a map eliminating Republican representation as unconstitutional and that Democrats could lose seats in the end. In a statement Tuesday, he argued that the commission had failed to hear from key stakeholders, including election officials, as they weighed the new congressional districts.
“Ultimately, a flawed process has delivered a flawed product,” he said.
