As National Democrats Call Out Extreme Gerrymandering in Maryland, An America United Releases New Video: “Fighting For The People”

While Democrats in Annapolis race to pass a redistricting map that makes the most extreme gerrymandering in the nation even worse, national Democrats are calling out this blatantly un-democratic push.

Former Senator and Democratic Vice presidential nominee Joe Liberman wrote an op-ed in Newsweek, urging Maryland Democrats to not “ignore the will of the people” or “ignore their voices.” Over the weekend, former NATO supreme allied commander and Democratic presidential candidate General Wesley Clark published an op-ed in The Washington Post, accusing Maryland Democratic legislators of “another egregious example of the suppression of the minority vote” and a challenge to the “very fundamentals of democracy.”

This comes as An America United is releasing a new video first reported in the Daily Caller, highlighting Governor Hogan’s fight to return the power to draw redistricting maps from partisan politicians back to the people.

While Vetoing Egregiously Gerrymandered Maps, Governor Hogan Calls on Biden DOJ to Add Maryland to Texas Civil Rights Suit

Governor Hogan continued his years-long fight to end gerrymandering in Maryland, vetoing congressional maps that make the nation’s worst gerrymandered maps even worse.

Governor Hogan also called on the Biden Department of Justice to add Maryland to their lawsuit against Texas alleging “discriminatory redistricting.” As Rep. Kweisi Mfume, who represents parts of Baltimore City in Congress has noted, Baltimore is being “chopped at” in these congressional maps, diluting minority representation. Even though the map passed by the Maryland legislature is even more discriminatory against minority voters than the Texas map, the Biden administration has yet to comment.
