It's a good thing when wrongs are righted.
Maryland officials must draw up a new congressional redistricting plan that isn't tainted by partisan gerrymandering, a panel of federal judges ruled this week. The three-judge panel's decision, issued one day after the midterm elections, orders the state to submit the new map by March 7. Otherwise, the court will appoint a commission to produce a redistricting plan for use in the 2020 congressional election, reports The Associated Press.
Several Republican voters sued over the boundaries of one of Maryland's eight congressional districts, claiming state officials unfairly redrew it in 2011 to favor Democrats. The panel hearing the case in U.S. District Court in Maryland agreed, saying the state must redraw the 6th District's lines using "traditional criteria for redistricting," showing regard for "natural boundaries."

How they got away with it in the first place is troubling, implying that they owned the judges when the mapping was first contested.
How? O’Malley is how.
They will draw the districts with a pencil so that they can be easily erased. Probably through in some really blurry lines too just be sure that the Dumbs maintain control.
Dave T: This is some of the best news I've heard all day. Agreed with the previous commentator here. How did this occur in the first place? Very good question. No secret here that only three counties have decided the election results for this state thanks to redistricting.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
Salisbury should be forced to redraw it’s districts based upon data rather than the Day-Ireton agenda.
