Maryland State Trial Court Invalidates U.S. House District Boundaries as an Unconstitutional Gerrymander

On March 25, a state trial court in Maryland issued an opinion in Szeliga v Lamone, Anne Arundel Circuit Court, C-02-cv-21-1816. This is the case that argues that the U.S. House district boundaries constitute an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander. The 94-page ruling invalidates the districts, and finds that the Maryland State Constitution prohibits partisan gerrymanders. Here is the opinion. Thanks to Bob Johnston for the link.

The primaries are July 19.

    Michigan Supreme Court rejects challenge to state House map that claimed GOP bias

    CRAIG MAUGER   | The Detroit News

    Lansing — The Michigan Supreme Court rejected Friday a lawsuit from community advocacy groups that alleged the state’s new House district lines unfairly favored Republicans.

    The decision by a court with a Democratic majority was a victory for the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission.

    The 13-member panel completed its inaugural round of drawing legislative maps at the end of 2021.

    The court said in its order, which indicated only two of the seven justices dissented, that it was “not persuaded it should grant” the relief requested by League of Women Voters of Michigan, Detroit Action, Asian & Pacific Islander American Vote and other organization.
