Maryland redraw proposal splits Montgomery into fifth district
The Maryland Citizens Committee for Fair Congressional Redistricting proposes a plan that makes Montgomery a separate 5th District and reconfigures districts across eight counties. It would place Prince Georges as the 4th or 5th, with Baltimore City keeping three reps and other districts shuffled. A federal suit seeks to declare current districts unconstitutional, spurring statewide candidacy elections.
