New Congressional Map Passes In Senate

(Annapolis, MD)  –Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley’s redistricting proposal passed the Senate without much drama yesterday. On a 33-to-13, near party line vote, the measure moved to the House of Delegates, where its passage is all but assured as well.  Prince George’s County’s Anthony Muse was the only Democrat to vote against it in the Senate.  The House is expected to pass the new map today, despite protests from Tea Party members and other conservatives.  A handful of Democrats also worry about the effect the new map will have on minority representation.
