Maryland realigns legislature seats in first major reapportionment
Maryland lawmakers approve a realignment under court order, expanding the House from 123 to 142 with seven new seats for Baltimore County and added seats for Montgomery and Prince Georges. The plan shifts 55 percent of House seats to metropolitan areas, ahead of a permanent 1963 review, while the Senate reapportionment remains under appeal.
