@JustinReady Didn't Andy oppose a gas tax holiday in 2022?

3 of the 4 @GovLarryHogan appointed Judges that heard the case this week voted to keep the question on the ballot... Hogan losing to the MGA again

[Governor Larry Hogan @GovLarryHogan]

For years, Maryland was considered the poster child for extreme partisan gerrymandering in the nation. Our congressional districts were so unfair, twisted, and distorted that they became a punchline on every list of the worst-drawn maps in America.

We appointed an independent, non-partisan redistricting commission that held hearings all across the state and heard the testimony of thousands of Marylanders. The legislature's extreme partisan maps were thrown out by the courts, and the legislature was ordered to redraw fairer maps. These are the ones we currently use today.

Our fair maps took eight years to win in Maryland, and the effort received bipartisan praise across the country.

Now, to ensure that their partisan, illegal maps can never be thrown out again, the monopoly in Annapolis is attempting to rewrite our state Constitution to clear the way for the same kind of maps that the courts already said violated the law.

Let me be clear, the way I've been clear about this for decades: partisan gerrymandering is a cancer on our democracy, and it's wrong no matter who does it.

Marylanders, regardless of party, should say NO to extreme partisan gerrymandering. NO to politics as usual. NO to being the worst in America. We are better than this.

@GSchifanelli He was sued in his official capacity and the state's litigation positions are all decided by the AG. So he had no say in the position.

@SoundMoneyG I don't think incorporating needs Annapolis approval. Just a local petition and Council approved charter.

@baltimoresun Can @KathyforMD keep her constituents under control...

@RepSarahElfreth Didn't you vote yes on a brazen political game by Republicans to politicize an antisemitic attack into an expression of "gratitude" to ICE?

[Daddy Franchot @DaddyFranchot]

@WhisperBox7 I have never seen any data to support the claim 🤷 I agree there was likely confusion about what the court of "special appeals" but I think specifically the change to "Supreme Court" was because the "Judges" wanted to be "Supreme Court Justices"

[Daddy Franchot @DaddyFranchot]

@WhisperBox7 @DrewSav This may happen in NY. But Maryland didn't have any court called the "supreme court" to accidentally file in.

[Daddy Franchot @DaddyFranchot]

@JustinReady Ultimately, this proposal will go to the voters. Why not let them vote? If the voters actually believe the language governing "legislative districts" applies to Congress voting that way seems like much better evidence than a ruling from a single judge?

[Daddy Franchot @DaddyFranchot]

@NicholasWahbe @MikenzieFrost @FOXBaltimore Yes

@Chisholmstrong Hey did you ever put a statement out condemning the attempt to stop the certification of an election on Jan 6?

[Daddy Franchot @DaddyFranchot]

@Skakaiaiesk @MatthewFoldi Unfortunately what "everyone today" thinks isn't how we interpret the law. But, I agree it's about politics... Republicans in LA believe it's more important to elect Republicans than allow black voters to elect their preferred candidate.

[Daddy Franchot @DaddyFranchot]

@JustinReady @mddems Landry suspended the election by executive order before there was even a certified judgment. His rush doesn't really seem to be because he cares about following the court... Alabama also seems to be setting up throwing out an election on maps the Court had previously approved.
