NAACP Wants Md. Redistricting Plans Released Early

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The NAACP and other groups are asking Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley to release redistricting plans early so that the public can review them.

The NAACP held a news conference in Annapolis on Wednesday with the Maryland Legislative Black Caucus and representatives from Latino and Asian political groups.

They are urging O'Malley to release his plan for new congressional districts 30 days before a special session convenes in October. They also want the state legislative redistricting plan made public 60 days before the regular 90-day session in January.
