马里兰州安妮阿伦德尔县巡回法院罗伯特·汤普森法官裁定，一项由民主党支持的宪法修正案因州议员违反7月1日的选票措施截止日期，无法出现在11月的选票上 1。汤普森法官暂停了该裁决的生效，以允许向州最高法院提起上诉 1。该修正案原本可能允许民主党在2028年选举前重划国会选区 1。
目前，民主党已控制马里兰州8个国会席位中的7个，并试图通过重划选区争取第8个席位 1。该修正案旨在绕过2022年推翻民主党重划计划的法院裁决，并将允许国会选区跨越切萨皮克湾，从而重塑共和党众议员安迪·哈里斯持有的选区 1。此外，弗吉尼亚州最高法院此前也因程序违规否决了类似的选区重划选票措施 1。
A Maryland court has ruled that a Democratic-backed constitutional amendment cannot appear on the November ballot 1. Judge Robert Thompson determined that state lawmakers violated the July 1 deadline for ballot measures 1. The judge paused the implementation of the ruling to allow for an appeal to the state Supreme Court 1. The proposed amendment would have allowed Democrats to redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2028 elections 1.
Democrats currently control seven of Maryland's eight congressional seats and are seeking to win the eighth through this redistricting effort 1. The amendment was designed to bypass a 2022 court decision that struck down a previous Democratic redistricting plan 1. It would have permitted congressional districts to cross the Chesapeake Bay, reshaping the district held by Republican Representative Andy Harris 1. The Supreme Court of Virginia previously rejected a similar redistricting ballot measure due to procedural violations 1.
