Surprise! &#8211; the Democratic-controlled legislature managed to hack into one of the two Republican seats. The short version: they went into Roscoe Bartlett&#8217;s MD-06, switched out a bunch of districts to make it more competitive, and then put central Maryland into the redistricting blender and hit &#8216;puree.&#8217; Because, well, central Maryland is dominated by the Baltimore and Washington DC metro areas, which is another way of saying that it&#8217;s prime Democrat country. The redistricting is likewise allegedly designed to give current Congressman John Sarbanes an easy, carefree life until such time as there&#8217;s a vacancy for MD-SEN; all in all, if you were hoping to see a Maryland redistricting map that didn&#8217;t look like a four-dimensional jigsaw puzzle, well, be disappointed yet again.]]>Tue, 25 Oct 2011 10:30:07 -0400<![CDATA[Moe Lane]]>https://redstate.com/moe_lane/2011/10/25/maryland-redistricting-map-to-get-voter-rights-act-challenge-n40898
