[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain how Maryland has the most insane freakshow Congressional District maps in probably the entire country? How did they get that way? How is it legal? I don't even think Jackson Pollack could come up with patterns like the ones that make up MD Congressional Districts. What is the history behind them?[/quote] The Supreme Court decided that it didn’t care about gerrymandering. Maryland Democrats have a supermajority in the state legislature and the party is concerned about holding the House. And Maryland is one of about three or four states with a strong Democratic gerrymander while the Republicans have about 20 of them. Also Steny Hoyer really wants the University of Maryland in his otherwise southern Maryland district for some weird reason that I don’t know, other than he went there.[/quote]
