State legislators, voters sue Maryland over allegedly gerrymandered congressional map helping Democrats
Fox News
An outside group is suing Maryland over its Democrat-backed redistricting plan for allegedly unconstitutional gerrymandering.
"The 2021 Plan violates the right of Maryland citizens to choose their congressional representatives by continuing to ‘crack’ Republican voters, including Plaintiffs, into congressional districts in a way that ensures the election of Democratic representatives to Congress.," the lawsuit alleges.
The term "cracking" used in redistricting means splitting up a certain bloc of similar voters to water down their electoral power and prevent that political group from being able to elect a representative.
