How Far Can Gerrymandering Go?
26th August 2025
Maryland Democrats, like those in California, are talking about a mid-census redistricting process to gerrymander their state even further. But the remarkable fact is that Maryland is already gerrymandered to almost the maximum extent possible.
In the 2024 election for the U.S. House, 63% of ballots cast were for Democrats. But, because of the Democrats’ past gerrymandering, 8 of 9 House members–87.5%–are Democrats. Governor Moore is now talking about trying to eliminate the last remaining Republican, so that the 37% of Marylanders who voted for Republicans will have no representation at all.
