Maryland state House Majority Leader David Moon (D) called out redistricting \u201ccheats\u201d on Tuesday and pledged to redraw the state\u2019s district lines if others are allowed to do so outside of the traditional census period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m introducing legislation to redraw Maryland congressional districts if any other state cheats & draws new maps outside of the census period,\u201d Moon wrote in a Tuesday post on the social platform X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSeems Trump has convinced Texas, Missouri & others, and FWIW TX did it years ago & got away with it because nobody responded,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the statement, Moon posted a screenshot of his bill request form seeking to draft legislation that would be enacted \u201cupon any other US State adopting a new congressional district map outside of the regular decennial census period\u201d and \u201cwould require the Maryland Governor to propose a new congressional district map.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the Governor declines to propose a new map within a certain time frame, the General Assembly has the option to propose and adopt a map of their own development,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move comes after Texas Republicans proposed redistricting the Lone Star State in an effort to maintain a GOP majority in Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump has backed the effort, which has garnered fierce criticism from Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf the Republicans are going to redistrict in the middle of the decade, then we have no choice but to do the same,\u201d said Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause to do otherwise would be unilateral disarmament.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) will call a special legislative session this week to consider redistricting, among other priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Redistricting across the country was originally slated for 2030, and an earlier draft date for new maps will likely rewire midterm elections set to take place next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
