Maryland’s New Congressional Map Could Wipe Republicans Out - Newsweek

This Newsweek article discusses Maryland's new congressional map, which could result in the elimination of Republicans from the state's congressional delegation. The map, recommended by the state's redistricting advisory commission, is expected to favor the Democratic Party. Democrats currently control both chambers of the state legislature and seven of Maryland's eight U.S. House seats. The new map could secure them the eighth seat, potentially wiping out the state's only House Republican, Andy Harris. The map will need to be voted on by the House and the Senate before moving forward, but it has faced opposition from Maryland Democratic Senate President Bill Ferguson.
