[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main problem with voting for Hogan is the redistributing. [/quote]
Redistricting? So the concern is Republican gerrymandering? I think Democrats have done that in Maryland quite a bit. (I am a Democrat.)[/quote]

Yeah, MD is heavily gerrymandered in the Dems favor.  I guess reversing that would be bad because it would help Republicans in congress, but I'd rather see less gerrymandering all together and I don't think two wrongs make a right.  Non-partisan redistricting would be the best in my mind.[/quote]

Sadly, Republicans are going to gerrymander every state they can.  If Democrats don’t follow suit then Republicans get another decade of control even though they get fewer votes.[/quote]

Democrats are well positioned to take some additional governorships which should help balance things out.  A desire to gerrymandered just seems like an odd reason to vote for Jealous, especially since there is only so much Hogan can do with the Democrats holding the legislature.[/quote]
