After the state Supreme Court overturned earlier rulings, the amendment, pushed by Democrats to counter partisan gerrymandering, is now headed to the ballot with revised language to clarify its impact. If passed, it would allow for more flexible district boundaries — even crossing the Chesapeake Bay — while exempting congressional maps from strict compactness rules. This comes amid a national redistricting battle, as Republicans push to redraw seats ahead of the next census, while Democrats fight back in key states like California and Utah — turning this vote into a pivotal moment in America’s electoral chess game.
