马里兰州民主党州长韦斯·摩尔召集的一个委员会周二建议制定新的国会选区地图，将目标对准该州在众议院中唯一的共和党人。
然而，这项需要州议会批准的提案在马里兰州由民主党控制的州参议院仍面临阻力。
该委员会支持的地图通过向哈里斯现有的东海岸选区新增包括马里兰州首府安纳波利斯和华盛顿特区北部郊区在内的民主党占优区域，旨在击败这位已连任八届的共和党众议员。
被视为2028年白宫潜在候选人的摩尔正推动马里兰州加入民主党阵营的反制行动，以应对去年唐纳德·特朗普总统发起的中期重新划分选区斗争。

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，该修正案可能使民主党在众议院增加多达四个席位。
马里兰州民主党人数量远超共和党人，目前控制州议会两院，并占据该州八席众议院席位中的七席。

“在其他州正积极重新绘制选区地图、基本投票权保护再次面临威胁的时刻，马里兰州有责任以紧迫感发挥领导作用。”摩尔重新划分选区委员会主席、民主党参议员安吉拉·阿尔索布鲁克斯在声明中表示，“我们的目标是确保国会代表团反映人民意愿，保护历史上代表性不足群体的权益，并让马里兰州拥有能真正制衡现任总统的国会。”
周二闭门会议上通过的这项计划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。
曾参与委员会工作的弗格森辩称，法院可能以违宪为由推翻消除共和党代表权的选区地图，民主党最终可能失去席位。他在周二的声明中指责委员会在权衡新选区时未听取包括选举官员在内的关键利益相关者意见。
“最终，一个有缺陷的过程导致了一个有缺陷的结果。”他说道。

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.
