Maryland is so gerrymandered now that only one of its congressional districts has a Republican congressman, Dr Andy Harris. He is excellent though his district snakes through many counties, up and down roads, to just grab enough Republicans so that the other seven districts can be Democrat. Now the Maryland legislature is trying to have an even worse gerrymandered map so that Andy Harris is eliminated.
