Parts of the map of Maryland's congressional districts look like spaghetti tossed onto a plate. Sometimes the same district has parts in many counties and may be connected by houses on a single street for a very long way. Maryland has one Republican representative in a state that is about 2 to 1 Dem to Republican. Computers figured out how to make it almost impossible to elect a Republican.

A ballot initiative asked voters to approve the redistricting. It asked voters to vote for or against redistricting in accord with the laws of the state of Maryland. Nowhere did people see a picture of the map so, in ignorance of the actual situation for most people, it passed. Of course the Democrats encouraged people to vote for the initiative. Dems sure do know how to hide the real meaning behind their flowery words.

In Houston they did that to limit the power of 2 disseparate groups of conservative engineers (north of Houston in Kingwood and south of Houston in Clear Lake).

The worst district is 1......Annapolis doesn’t even have their own district....they cut us up into multiple districts. I lived in Arnold and have the Eastern Shore as part of the district. It doesn’t make sense....but none of the districts do. One thing I do know is that Annapolis should have its own district.
