Maryland redistricting referendum sparks GOP rally ahead of November elections

Governor Wes Moore backs a constitutional amendment on redistricting that could reshape Maryland’s congressional map, prompting Republicans to mobilize voters for the November ballot.

Governor Wes Moore is promoting a constitutional amendment, known as Question 3, that would enable a redistricting overhaul potentially removing Rep. Andy Harris, the state’s only House Republican. The proposal has drawn criticism from GOP challenger Dan Cox, who likens the fight to a historic battle and cautions that failure to defeat the amendment could leave Republicans without congressional representation. A recent University of Maryland, Baltimore County survey indicates only 25% support for the measure, with opposition strongest among Republicans.

Fight Back MD, a pro-Democratic advocacy group, is launching a six-figure advertising push to persuade voters to approve the amendment, arguing it counters President Donald Trump’s agenda. The referendum will appear on the November ballot, making it a pivotal issue for both parties in the upcoming elections.

Why it matters

The vote will determine Maryland’s congressional map and could affect partisan balance in Congress.
