The Maryland Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Democrats’ much-debated redistricting amendment to appear on ballots in November.
Voters will decide whether to change the state constitution to allow lawmakers to draw legislative and congressional districts without facing stringent compactness standards in the future — marking a win for state Democrats who passed the amendment last month.
Thursday’s ruling reversed an earlier county circuit-court decision that concluded the ballot measure was flawed because it poses multiple redistricting questions to voters.
