Maryland governor creates commission to weigh redistricting ahead of 2026 midterms

Maryland Democratic Gov. Wes Moore on Tuesday launched a redistricting commission to consider whether to redraw the state's congressional lines ahead of next year's midterms, as other states redo their districts.

The launch comes the same day that California voters are casting their ballots on whether the Golden State should participate in the redistricting movement. The resolution would redraw House districts to secure a greater Democratic advantage as retaliation for similar Republican efforts in states like Texas.

The commission will be led by Maryland Democratic Sen. Angela Alsobrooks and will hold public hearings, solicit feedback and make recommendations to the governor and Maryland General Assembly on redistricting.

“My commitment has been clear from day one—we will explore every avenue possible to make sure Maryland has fair and representative maps,” Moore said in a news release. “This commission will ensure the people are heard.

"I thank those who have raised their hands to lead this process, and I am confident in their ability to gather the views and perspectives of a broad range of voices throughout the state," he added.

There’s one Congressional representative in Maryland. He’s not invited to be on the committee — shocker.

The obvious next step is the creation of many single-party states, California being the largest, and closest to that already. The Dim primary will be the election, as it already is in DC and other large cities. Then there will be moves to strip all opposition, except maybe a few minor parties, from the general election ballot, as was tried against Pres. Trump. Soon after, the Dim candidate will then be selected by the Dim Central Committee, with all funding withdrawn from other contenders.

Voila! Socialist path to the true communism!

This wasn’t the design of the United States. What are we going to end up with political states within states?
