Maryland Plan To Keep One Senator Per County Ruled Unconstitutional
The Maryland Court of Appeals blocked a small county effort to retain single senate seats. A 2 plan with population based districts was upheld by the court, while a 42 member House would still guarantee one delegate per county. The case arises under a Supreme Court mandate to reapportion legislative seats by population before 1966 elections. Gov Tawes had urged passage of a preferred plan through court review.
