In a Sunday interview, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) stated that he is actively considering redistricting options in his state as the partisan effort across the United States continues. Moore attributed the push for Texas Republicans to rewrite their congressional lines to give the GOP five more pickup opportunities in the next election cycle. He compared this push to President Trump’s call to Georgia election officials after losing the 2020 presidential race, asking them to find 11,780 votes to overturn the president’s loss in the state
Republicans are also planning for redistricting in several other states, including Florida, Indiana, and Missouri, signaling a new phase of the fight. Democrats have undertaken a similar endeavor in California, as the partisan effort expands throughout the country. Moore’s commitment is to ensure fair lines and seats, where voters have a chance to choose their elected officials. He emphasized the importance of having fair maps and ensuring that the president of the United States does not manipulate elections by putting his finger on the scale.
