Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley admitted that he, along with other Maryland Democrats, gerrymandered the state’s 6th district to oust long-time Republican incumbent Rep. Roscoe Bartlett in 2012, the Baltimore Sun reported Wednesday.
A lawsuit filed in 2013 alleged gerrymandering has been moving through Maryland’s courts, forcing Democrats to talk about what the Baltimore Sun says many already suspected: Democratic redistricting was unconstitutional. Following the 2010 census, Democrats expanded Bartlett’s 6th district into the heavily-Democratic Montgomery and Frederick counties.
“That was my hope,” O’Malley told attorneys in his deposition. “It was my intent to create … a district where the people would be more likely to elect a Democrat than a Republican.”

I'm shocked, you mean owemalley is scum?
now do something about it
Broke the law and MD is still paying him work at U of MD
really?
can he be prosecuted?
Let the bars close on O'Malley he did not believe in protecting the people in communities he believed in replacing correctional officers with councelors look how well that worked in the prisons.
Jail is too good for someone who abused power like that
the guy ran for the office of the president
Hence this SHOULD be the last time anyone utters his name. Should be barred from all forms of media, then allow the legal meanies to figure out if he indeed broke any laws by admittance!
Idiot's 15 minutes of fame are UP!
Wow!!! you mean DEMS are deceitful and corrupt.
