Marylanders deserve the final say on how their maps get drawn, and the state Supreme Court just made sure that happens. Republican-led states spent the past year ramming through gerrymanders at Trump's request and gutting the Voting Rights Act, so unilateral disarmament makes no sense here. Question 3 belongs on the November ballot, where voters — not partisan lawsuits — settle the question.
Democrats blew past legal deadlines and skipped required procedures, then got a court to rewrite their own ballot language for them — that's judges acting as the legislature. The whole point is erasing the last Republican House seat and locking in one-party rule that silences more than a million Marylanders. Polling shows voters reject extreme partisan gerrymandering, and this amendment can be beaten in November.
