Gov. Larry Hogan Launches Maryland Redistricting Commission To Rebuild District Maps By 2022 Election via executive order.
Maryland is one of the most gerrymandered states in the country. Im not opposed at all to independent redistricting but I don't see how such an action is constitutional given the legislature is the one who draws the maps in Maryland.
tbh Larry Hogan is probably the best Republican state governor. Doesn't mean he's a good one, but I agree with more things he's done then other republican governors. Especially this.
I think its a great idea but I don't think its constitutional. You can't use an executive order to rewrite the state constitution. if one can then Evers in Wisconsin should do this as well.
